Best used estate?

I am looking for a used mid-size estate. I have been reading your answers to similar questions, and it seems you recommend the following:

* Ford Mondeo
* Mazda 6
* Skoda Superb
* Toyota Avensis
* Huyndai i40
* KIA Optima
* Mercedes E-Class

Can you please sort the list according to which one fit my needs best? What is important for me:

- petrol: commute to work 15min, not enough for diesel
- reliable
- inexpensive to service/fix
- good/best value for money

What is not so important for me:

- gear: either manual or automatic is ok
- fun to drive: I am not an enthusiastic driver; I only need to get myself and my family from A to B for the minimal hassle
- MPG: I drive less than 12k miles per year
- badge/image: anything that works is fine

Choosing a child seat can be a quite baffling experience – there are so many sizes, types, brands and price points available that you might not know where to start.
