V5 Documents show ownership I believe. Give the DVLA a ring, have a look here https://www.dvla.gov.uk/

Yep, V5 is registration (owner/keeper) document
MOT is a test of the road-worthines of the vehicle (there will be a certificate issued after testing every 12 months after the vehicle is 3 years or older)
road tax is just that....a tax to be on the road. You cant tax a vehicle without MOT certificate AND insurance certificate
Hope this helps.

of course, its probably different if youre importing a vehicle yourself.

didn't it change to a V5C recently and there were lots of DVLA threatening adverts that said you must upgrade your V5 to a V5C else you vehicle will cease to exist.

no real problem with vehicles kept on the road constantly but stuff thats been sitting in a back yard might have the older one which needs to be changed.
