Does it continually update the monthly payment if you do, hence reduce total interest and monthly payment and keep the balloon payment in tact?

    The balloon will always remain the same on a PCP - it's the estimated value of the vehicle at the end of the contract.

    So, yes, overpayments should reduce future monthlies and thereby interest.

    Great! I plan to over pay and hope it will reduce my interest to minimal and therefore a 'free' car for 48 months and decide whether to keep or return in 4 years
