Not worth it for me. Rather pay more from a dealer with some warrenty and guarantees!

True but there are crooked dealers and couldn't care less dealers once they have got your money!
Tips:
A genuine V5 is watermarked like a banknote
Check VIN and engine numbers against V5 and service book and MOT
HPI check.
Original invoice and service receipts made out to seller
Service stamps in service book can be checked against owners address.
(PS you can always buy one of me, I cant run very fast these days
