Does anyone know how difficult it is to register for a new plate on the
car and how long it would take and any pitfalls?

If you have a DVLA office close by it can be done there and then. By post
probably a week or so.

If the car wasn't owned by the previous chap from new it will probably get
its original number back.

However, it's the seller who has to do all this if he wishes to keep his
plate.
