buying a car with no road tax - question

Nope, not legal. The only way is if it needs an MOT and is driven to a pre-booked test. Other than that, it would need to be towed on a trailer. (Of course, someonw is about to prove me wrong 
)
With the police scameras around now, you may or may not be lucky.

If it's a dealer he should have dealer plates then you can drive it sans rfl
Not much use for driving it home unless the dealer is going to follow you home in it.
Of course it would. That way it is still taxed. And usually the 'normal' way of doing things.
This is not the case.
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) carries out a computer check each month, as well as roadside checks to identify those vehicles without a valid tax disc. You could face an automatic penalty of £80 as well as a minimum fine of £1000. Your vehicle could be clamped, impounded or even crushed.
