I seem to recall that one of the questions i saw on a insurance proposal form was ' is there any other policies in force on car '

Yes, they do ask that question.
In the event that both policies cover the matter for which a claim is being made they will usually share the costs. However, with motor insurance it is unlikely to occur because usually the vehicle is only covered for a particular individual to drive. So in the scenario you describe if the seller still has a policy in force it is unlikely to provide cover when the buyer is driving or is in charge of the vehicle
