Don't buy tax online until DVLA have car registered with you at your address as keeper.

You are in rock and hard place.

You should have the V5 doc of the old keeper (seller) take that with your insurance to the post office to get a new tax disc, assuming the car is not currently taxed. They can verify MOT with online records, as the paper receipt you get isn't a MOT certificate any more so there isn't a requirement to hold onto that.
