I have done this myself after living in France for 10 years, when we decided to return tolive in the UK I brought back with me my trusted and oh so loved Defender 90. For me it was very easy as I had been the person who took it from the UK to France, as such I had the V5 document which I then removed the appropriate section and sent it into the DVLA and almost by return of post I had the duly altered V5.

Hopefully your friend will have been given parts of the V5 if not all of it which he would then be able to send off.

He will need to have a UK address for adding to their records and for recording onto the V5.

Presumably if it has been registered in the UK in former times then all the original VAT and associated taxes will have been paid.

Fingers crossed for him
