Nearly 2 yrs old, looks like it has been sat around in storage for a while? you will find a lot of similar aged, very small mileage EV vans around, many pre registered to meet EV targets.

possible but thinking many just wont gamble on used EVs
Your right there is alot. Im having a thought is it worth buying cheap even if charging is expensive, as I don't have a drive.
Be REALLY careful with that! The "Official" range for one of those, is about 200 miles. Realistically, you'll do well to get 150 (obviously depending on what sort of driving you do, how much load you carry, and the time of year). Round town, lightly-laden, you're likely to do better than 150 in summer. Heavily-laden on a motorway in winter, maybe 120 miles. If you plan on using rapid public chargers, whatever you do, take out a monthly contract with a charging network of your choice, because the pay-as-you-go rates are eyewatering! (Even with diesel at the price it currently is). Worst case, it's likely to do about 2.5 miles to the kWh , so if you're charging at 89p per kWh, that's 2.5 miles for 89p or nearly 36p a mile!
The ability to home charge, is when an EV becomes a much cheaper option.
You say you don't have a drive, but can you fairly regularly park outside your house? If so, there are still grants available for "pavement gullies", and most councils are now under enormous government pressure to support people who want to install a kerbside charger.
