Turn back in vehicle that's not what it seems (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bogus

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'not what it seems' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'turn back in vehicle' is the wordplay.
'turn' becomes 'go' (a person's move in a board game).
'back' is a reversal indicator.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'vehicle' becomes 'bus' (public transport vehicle).
'go' written backwards gives 'og'.
'og' going within 'bus' is 'BOGUS'.

'that's' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bogus that I've seen before include "that's not real" , "Dummy" , "Spurious" , "Not genuine, sham" , "Fake, phoney" .)
