Motor vehicle lock

A motor vehicle lock comprising a locking mechanism unit and a functional unit and, in the fastened state, being connected to a bodywork component, the locking mechanism unit comprising a locking mechanism connection plate in a locking mechanism connection plane and the functional unit comprising a functional connection plate in a functional connection plane for the purpose of connection to the bodywork component, the motor vehicle lock being L-shaped and, for this purpose, the locking mechanism connection plane and the functional connection plane being oriented at an angle to one another,

• wherein the locking mechanism connection plate and the functional connection plate are configured as separate components and are coupled to one another in such a way that said coupling allows, on the one hand, the transmission of a tearing force in the functional connection plane by way of a form fit between the locking mechanism connection plate and the functional connection plate and, on the other hand, a compensating movement between the locking mechanism connection plate and the functional connection plate.
