Is it realistic to be able to afford a van to live in the back of, on just 9000 pounds a year?

So when I bought my first car a long time ago it didnt cost that much it already had an MOT and road tax, I handed over 900 odd pounds, then I got the cheapest insurance I could and didnt drive it much so fuel wasnt much.
So from my memory it doesn't cost that much. Am I wrong?
I wont drive it that much.
Can you advise on what the costs will be per year? (make the decisions as if you were in my situation and you were buying a cheap van to LIVE in the back of)
(like a flat but Ill just chuck a mattress in the back)

Have you been to the council yet to see what options there might be, as per suggested in your previous threads?

All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.0 -
What are the figures that you've come up with - it would be good to know what they are.
Where will the van be kept - what will the costs be there ?
What utilities will you use .... water, sewerage, gas, elec ?
How will you get around the address/banking systems if you are going to live off the grid ?
Do you not work, how will that happen if you're living off the grid ?
