Your statutory labels normally the door pillar give the weights of GVW and MTW, and the V5 should give maximum braked trailer weights. Subtract GVW from MTW and you get maximum towed weight.
Something like this Ford one. Send photo of yours if it isn't in your V5.

It seems that the model in question has a kerb weight of 1280kg therefore you are very close to running at 100% which is not recommended for newbies towing caravans.

Thanks,I should have been more specific, I know the kerbweight for the car its 1310 kgs empty. When I say towing info I am asking if anybody has any actual towing experience with this car. Not too worried about the weight ratio as I do have many years of towing experience
