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

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 judge 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' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'vehicle' becomes 'bus' (bus is a kind of vehicle).
'go' reversed gives 'og'.
'og' put into 'bus' is 'BOGUS'.

'that's' acts as a 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" .)
