You don't need to take anything but take the old MOT if you have it so mileage can be verified at a later date. To tax your bike you would need the MOT, V5 and insurance certificate. Unless you have a reminder from DVLA then you don't need the V5.

You just need the old MOT if it's still current. You can MOT a month before it's actually due and they give you the 12 months from the old one's expiry date if you've got it with you. So technically you could get the new one valid for 13 months.
