why so expensive?

Because a £500 van will cost £1000's to run and insure a £1000 scooter will cost £100's to run and insure.3

There’s a captive market for 50cc scooters - at 16, it’s pay it or walk/public transport/beg for lifts.1

A van at £500 is absolutely scrap.I see a lot of scooters below £1000 too, Autotrader as low as £650 but I suspect that it's not worth the fees selling one for less than that. You can even buy (crap) new ones for £1000ish, but you'd probably be better off with a e-bicycle for most uses unless you need to go above 15mph.
But they are completely different things for different purposes.1 -

I'm not sure why you're doing this, starting threads, and not returning to engage or answer questions intended to help you with your situation.
I'm beginning to wonder if you're some sort of troll.5 -
