Methodology: medians reconcile live advertised UK salaries for this role and region; 25th–75th percentiles are shown only where at least 5 live salaried listings back them. They are measured or omitted, never interpolated. Rows marked indicative are anchored to our curated 2026 baseline ranges until enough live data accrues. Listings advertising an implausible annual figure (a mislabelled hourly or daily rate) are excluded rather than converted, because converting one means guessing the hours behind it.

Market view. Level 2 technicians anchor the band, Level 3 and MOT testers sit in the middle, and master, diagnostic and HGV technicians at the top (£45,000–£55,000 with bonus). Franchised dealers pay most; independents and fast-fits least. EV and high-voltage certification is the fastest-growing premium.
