Which used car for an elderly couple?

We need to replace an elderly Nissan Primera with a used car, ideally no more than £10,000.

We are also elderly, so something higher than, and certainly no longer than a Primera. We do a low mileage, but often with a full boot and a grandson in a child seat, so it can't be too small. Also, it will need to be automatic. Any ideas?
