Can you recommend a family car for under £10,000?

Can you recommend a family car for under £10,000? I drive 16k miles a year, mainly motorway journeys, going to work and dropping others off. I would like the maintenance and running costs of the car to be low. And be looking to keep the car for at least 4/5 years, but practical for a family of four with kids under 4 years old?

A Honda Civic might be a good choice. The 1.6 i-DTEC diesel engine is very efficient and reliable. It's a very practical car and your budget will get a 2016 model with low miles. There's an estate version too, if you need more space. Also consider a Skoda Octavia or a crossover SUV like the Renault Kadjar or Kia Sportage.
