Best place to get a CHEAP! van?

I need a van for one journey, so as long as it has a few months MOT left I don't really care what the condition is. It needs to make it about 1500 miles though so I don't want one with a fcuked clutch etc
Where is the cheapest place to pick one up, like I say if it does the 1500 miles (legally) and with what I put in the back still in the back after that journey then thats all I'll ask of it.
Ebay looks to be shit for cheap deals, nothing under £500 I've found yet
Autotrader looks better, but any other tips?
Car auction a good bet? Theres a BCA at Blackbushe airport and they seem to do LOADS of different auctions, from just light commercial to things like royal mail, so would probably have to go to a few different days. any other places to look?

Surely will be cheaper to rent one for few days? A transit size van with insurance is only £45 per day and all you have to pay on top is fuel?

You will personally pay approximately a £160 indemnity at BCA on top of any vehicle you buy under £500 so there's really no point in my opinion as you will be buying a piece of shit, stuck in by a trader because.... well because it's a piece of shit.
Rent one from Farnborough Van and truck hire you tight cunt.

It's nothing dodgy mate lol, we're just moving down there with a few bits of furniture.
Will be selling it or scrapping it in Spain hence wanting a shitter!
Even a £200 transit would get us down there I reckon, okay it might fail its next MOT on rust or whatever but the mechanicals go on and on?
