Road Tax On A Just Purchased Car.
My wife has got a used car from a private individual.
Ownership was transferred online and we have no physical paperwork.
As far as I can tell there is no way I can tax it until I get the V5.
She already has access to the vehicle but does not need to drive it until next Wednesday.
Is she allowed to drive it?

You should receive your new V5C registration certificate (logbook) within 2 weeks.
Since 1st October 2014, vehicle tax can no longer be transferred as part of the sale. This is because the seller will automatically receive a refund of any remaining tax.
You must tax this vehicle before it is driven on the road, tax now at www.gov.uk/vehicletax.

It is very likely that if you don't manage to obtain tax the vehicle (strictly now called VED) that you will be pulled over by the police, who are enforcing the law apropos non-essential travel. I take it that the car has a current MOT and that your wife has taken out insurance for the vehicle (if she is using it for work to drive to and from clients homes, she will need business insurance). Whilst using or keeping a vehicle on the road without it being tax is illegal, she may find that the police are lenient. They are likely to do a moving vehicle check on any vehicles they stop.
