Its difficult to suggest a suitable cheap van, you say a decent 4 berth for £2k.. Problem is one persons idea of decent van is another persons idea of a shed.. I would suggest as a starter you go and look at lots of vans and see what you can get for £2k, it is the cheaper end of the market so they will be older. Also I personally wouldnt buy a van who's manufacturer has gone out of business, but many do.  As a starting point try Elddis, Bailey,Sterling, Swift or Lunar 4 berths, they are all still in business and if you go with the mondeo suggestion, all have models easily within that cars ability and all do 4 berth models in varying specifications and therefore weights. But do lots of looking and research, the internet has lots of info.

Hi

Just bought the Kia Ceed as a replacement for the Kia Cerato.  The Cerato was build on the corolla normal not verso chassis and running gear and I had no problems towing my big Adria Altea 542DK with a weight of 1300Kg.

The Ceed is not a people carrier type car but it is a great family hatch and I expect this to tow as good as the Cerato.  I also looked at the Octavia and it is a nice car that will pull with ease (depending on van) but the 7 years warrenty did it for me and you can pick a year old model ceed up for a fantastic price (if your not a badge snob)

Cheers
