Company vehicle covered by MOT in shot, burning (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

combustion

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

'burning' is the definition.
(I know that burning can be written as combustion)

'company vehicle covered by mot in shot' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'company' could be 'bus' (bus company is a kind of company) and 'bus' is found within the answer.
an anagram of 'mot' is 'omt' which is present in the left over letters.
The remaining letters 'cion' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for combustion that I've seen before include "See 12 and 20" , "Process of burning" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
