A motor vehicle lock including a detent mechanism with a catch and a pawl. The motor vehicle lock may include a drive train arrangement with a drive element. The catch may be pivoted between an open position, a primary closed position and a secondary closed position, disposed between the open position and the primary closed position. When the pawl is in an engaged state, it blocks the catch in the primary closed position and in the secondary closed position and may be raised into a release state to release the catch. A predefined drive direction is assigned to the drive element and during a cinching sequence, by driving the drive element in the predefined drive direction, the drive train arrangement may engage and drive the catch in the closing direction into its primary closed position, or into an overtravel position beyond the primary closed position.
