The Invention relates to a motor vehicle latch (1, 2) with a catch (3) and a pawl (4) for a latching of the catch (3), a latch plate (5) or a latch case; a screw opening (10, 11) In the latch plate (5) or the latch case for a screw connection with the motor vehicle; a housing wall (15) surrounding the catch (3) and the pawl (4); an empty cavity (7) to provide space for a screw connection to connect the latch plate (5) or the latch case with the motor vehicle; a closed cover defining the extension of the empty cavity (7) within the motor vehicle latch (1, 2); wherein only the catch (3) and the pawl (4) and no or a maximum of one further rigid-shaped, power-transmitted latch component of the motor vehicle latch (1, 2) are pivotably mounted on the same first rotational level (6) on the latch plate (5) or on the latch case: said empty cavity (7) stretches directly Inwards; said empty cavity (7) Is defined Inbetween the area of the catch (3) and the pawl (4) and the housing wall (15). It Is proposed that the narrowest point of the cover Is larger than the 10 x of a diameter of the screw opening (10, 11) This creates an especially large buffer zone for different arrangements of fixing points of different vehicles, decreasing the amount of work needed for adaptation of the latch to different vehicles.
