Having a decent van is the number one requirement for WFP cleaning IMO and the largest outlay is your van. If you don't want to spend a huge chunk all at once then leasing for a small rental amount every month that's 100% tax deductable is ok. Its easily affordable for most businesses.

I just see it as a legitimate business expense every month now.

What was the list price of your van  when you bought it 9 years ago Daz? That’s a hell of a lot of wasted money on interest you’ve paid there. Far far more cost effective way of owning a new van than the route that you have taken.
