 How to get road tax for a car that you are buying? - Iffy
In theory you could tax it online because the system only checks there is an MoT, not that you are holding it.

But I doubt your new insurance will be updated online immediately, so the system might reject it on that basis.

Then there's the change of keeper to think about.

I reckon the only viable solution is to turn up early to collect the car, and leave it with the seller while you go to the nearest Post Office with V5, MoT, insurance cover note and some money.
