This isn't unusual and its still going on even with the more desirable, high end replicas.
The advert is written on behalf of the vendor with the information they provide.
It is the buyers responsibility to satisfy themselves that everything is in order from a legal point of view. The seller might not even be aware of the regulations. The mot station where tested should have picked up that it isn't the car on the V5. The MOT exemption is still a grey area even it was correctly registered, unlikely as it doesn't use the donor chassis, same goes for the tax exemption for the same reasons.
A case of caveat emptor
