Electronic car test, then I have to get moving (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

emotive

'moving' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'electronic car test then i have' is the wordplay.
'electronic' becomes 'e' (as in e-mail or e-books).
'car test' becomes 'mot'.
'then' says to put letters next to each other.
'i have' becomes 'ive'.
'e'+'mot'+'ive'='EMOTIVE'

'to get' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for emotive that I've seen before include "Deeply felt" , "Stirring feeling" , "Showing feelings" , "Arousing intense feelings" , "Arousing deep feeling" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
