Can you recommend a cheap car?

I need to buy a cheap vehicle for £1000. It must be reliable, with cheap parts and maintenance. Ideally, I’d like a big car (estate/SUV/SUV) as I occasionally need to carry large items. What do you recommend I buy?

A Toyota Yaris 1.0 1999-2002 is about the best you'll get for £1,000.
