Can I finance a van from a private seller?

Sometimes, but it is harder than buying from a dealer. Many lenders will only pay a VAT-registered trader, because that gives them a traceable invoice and recourse if something is wrong. Where private sale is possible you should expect extra checks — an inspection, an HPI check and proof the seller owns it outright.
