What small automatic cars are available for £12,000?

My wife and I are in our mid seventies, and need an automatic gearbox car similar to a Citroen C3 AirCross which we now have. We have a budget of up to £12000. Please advise.

Used examples of the Citroen C3 Aircross are available within your budget, but if you are looking for an alternative then we would suggest considering the Skoda Kamiq and Ford Puma. Both of these models are compact but offer good interior space, have efficient petrol engines and are available with automatic gearboxes.
