    No. The vehicle can only be used for the purposes of the disabled person.

    Ok. In that case it may be possible if he is your nominated driver.

    I can't find any specific rules or regulations about being a nominated driver. (Usually it is done through the Motability scheme).

    The only rules are that the vehicle must be used for the disabled person only. And you can only have one disabled car tax at a time. Both of those seem to fit your situation.

    Unless anyone else can confirm, I would recommend applying for the tax emption on your friends vehicle with them as a nominated driver. The worst that can happen is they decline it.
