Suggestions for a used car with boot space on a £6-8k budget

I need to get a new car quite quickly, I am currently driving a motability nissan juke but as my ds's condition has improved I am giving it back. I have a budget of 6-8k, so not lots in the grand scheme of things. I generally only have 1 passenger and a dog so the inside doesn't need to be big, but I need a decent size boot as I like to do UK holidays so need room for luggage. I prefer cars that sit higher like the juke or a puma but I can compromise on that. More important is that it isn't too much on tax. My dm drives a Ford EcoSport which is a consideration although it's not my favourite. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Skoda octavia estate, oodles of practical tardis like space on what is essentially a vw golf platform. Easy to see end of bonnet and park and park its no wider than a golf.

Was going to say exactly the same.

We had Octavias for 12 years, as they have huge boots.

I love my Octavia, but it doesn’t sit high like the OP would like.
