What's a reliable estate for around £10k?

I am looking for a reliable estate car under 10k that is ulez compliant as I live in bristol. Are there any you would recommend please?

The Skoda Octavia is worth a look at that budget. All petrol models of the 2012-on, third-generation version will be ULEZ compliant, but some of the diesel models will be Euro 5 and liable for the charge, so if it's a diesel you're after, make sure it's Euro 6. It's worth double-checking the status any car you might buy here: www.gov.uk/clean-air-zones
