If a one owner car has been at a trader for a year, how would the ownership history account for this one year gap when the next owner purchases the car? When hpi'd what will it show?

One owner, if the yellow section of the V5 has been filled in then it is classed as "in the trade" and doesn't add another owner to the V5

Yeah that bit I know, just more interested in what happens to that year without an owner. What will the ownership history look like in a couple of years time when reviewed.

Loads of cars are held by traders so I guess it's normal.

Iirc v5 just shows acquired date and not disposed date.

Dvla records will show entire history incl dates of when the car went into trade
