Erratic teen's test drive is personal concern (6,8)

I believe the answer is:

vested interest

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

'personal concern' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.

'erratic teen's test drive' is the wordplay.
'erratic' indicates anagramming the letters.
'teens'+'test'+'drive'='teenstestdrive'
'teenstestdrive' is an anagram of 'VESTED INTEREST'.

'is' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for vested interest that I've seen before include "It could be good for you!" , "Personal stake in an undertaking" , "Having personal concern" .)
