Buy vehicle
Put your details in the new keeper part of the V5 and give the document back to the seller for them to send to DVLA. You keep a small green tear off slip that they should have also made sure you fill in with your details.
Insure the vehicle.
Check the tax disc displayed and the MOT are still in date.
Ride/drive away.
