Of course, but if you bought a brand new vehicle and it wasn't road legal by design you wouldn't be.

  In the UK, if you want to use a vehicle on the roads it's your responsibility to get it taxed and insured and so on. In the process of doing that you'll find out whether it's legally usable on the roads. There are various kinds of agricultural, recreational and construction vehicle that can't be driven on the roads: you put them on a trailer for moving them from site to site.

    You are missing my point, or I'm unable to convey it: If your brand-new car comes with a by design defective (and illegal) airbag or a by design frame which breaks after a few hundred miles and this results in a death, you won't be responsible. You also are not responsible to check whether your car was designed to legal norms and standards. If it's sold to you as road legal you can expect it to be road legal.
