What's the best estate car for £15,000?

I want to purchase a second hand estate car. Our last car was a Skoda Octavia, which was perfect for space and running costs, including insurance. I would really appreciate advice on choice of estate car. Either hybrid or fully electric. No more than £15,000.

We'd recommend a Toyota Corolla Touring Sports. It's a very efficient and reliable hybrid estate car. If you'd prefer to go electric, the MG 5 EV represents excellent value for money on the used market.
