I'd hesitate to recommend another Saab given what GM seem to have done to their quality control - or a Peugeot, where quality control was never a priority.
Best choice could be between Ford Mondeo, Skoda Octavia (cheaper than a Passat or Audi A6 of similar age) or Volvo V70. Do you need a diesel? I ask because for £10k you'll be getting something a few years old where diesels start to need very expensive repairs.
One more thought - a lot of people on here and other forums swear by (rather than at) their Citroens. If you spend a lot of time in France there will be garages who can repair a C5 or Picasso if it does go wrong.
Renault? I had 7 reliable Renaults between 1988 and 2001 but the last one was new in 1998 and there are too many varying stories recently about whether they have or haven't got quality sorted out after a terrible falliong-off in the early 2000s.
Good luck, and do let us know how you get on.
