Understanding Vehicle and parts salespersons and advisers pay in the UK
The typical vehicle and parts salespersons and advisers in the UK earns a median salary of £31,750 in 2025/26. These figures come from the ONS Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE), so they reflect actual reported pay rather than self-reported estimates or job-advert ranges.
The middle half of vehicle and parts salespersons and advisers earnings fall between £28,363 and £35,951 a year. That is a relatively narrow range, meaning pay tends to be consistent across employers regardless of experience.
The mean (average) salary is higher, at £33,261. When the mean sits above the median like this, a smaller group of high earners is pulling the average up, which is why the median is the better guide to what a typical vehicle and parts salespersons and advisers actually takes home.
Employment patterns shape these numbers too: Around 14% of Vehicle are self-employed, well above most occupations, so the employee pay above will not capture earnings for those working for themselves.
