Just to confirm, this is a new business rather than the incorporation of an existing business within which the van already exists.
If as it sounds this is the straight purchase of a second hand Van from non related parties in an arms length transaction then there is no reason that you should not use the AIA if you need to although as it is your first year be careful that you are not throwing away capital allowances that could be carried forwards against future profits.
Also remember that the AIA is pro ratered rather than being a set figure regardless of the time period. Although, for £2000 I don't imagine that there would be an issue unless you have major expenditure elsewhere.
kind regards,
Shaun.
