Couldn't you tax it online and carry the proof with you to say the tax is in the post ?

If its taxed online the other guy has to have it currently insured, and it'll go to his house.

Not possible to drive it.
You need him to tax it, which means he needs to have it insured.
The alternative is for you to go there and get it in your name but not collect until the docs are in order.

when we bought the van, we had insurance in our name, all docs were in his name and we taxed it online when were we at the guys house before fetching it back, the tax disc did go to the guys house but he just posted it on

Tell him to tax it and pay him extra, when he receives the disc send it to your address
