Which party may take ownership of the vehicle under motor finance arrangements?

In motor finance arrangements, the finance provider often holds the legal title to the vehicle as security while the customer is repaying the loan. This means the lender is the owner on paper, protecting their investment if payments aren’t kept up. The customer usually has possession and use of the vehicle, and ownership transfers to them only after all payments are made. The retailer simply supplies the car, and the insurer provides coverage, but neither typically owns the vehicle under the finance agreement.
