Taxing a car bought with no V5

[MJG50 7]

I'm considering buying car from the block with no V5 - I don't fancy trying to sell it without the V5 so I'm intending to apply for a new V5 in my name when I get the car. Should I tax it at the same time as applying for the V5 or is it possible to put it in the trade without a V5 and use my trade plates?

Why don't you fancy selling it without V5? Its it not currently taxed online you can use V62 and register it and tax when you sell it down the post office. Use trade plates in mean time if you want to drive it.
