The towing limit is exceeded by 30 kg!
It is not allowed to drive with this Lunar. Make sure the towing limit is correct.
We now give advice based on the assumption that the legal maximum towing weight is higher for your car and that the car should be allowed to tow this caravan!
The Nissan Almera Tino 2.2 Di with a Lunar Clubman 475-CK with an actual weight of 1280 kg is in general a good match and suitable for all journeys on all kinds of roads.
The motor preformance of the Nissan is in general more than sufficient. And also the weight of the Lunar with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is pretty good.

Performance
The engine's performance is generally fairly good on flat roads (performance score to compare 197 points).
Speeds of 70 mph (113 km/h) to 76 mph (123 km/h) are often quite possible.
There is only moderate power at low engine speeds (score to compare 139 points).
Slightly higher revs (2000 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 24.2 sec.
In the mountains the performance is generally fairly good (score to compare 188 points).
No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 12%, but do require some experience from the driver.
On motorway inclines higher revs (3700 rpm) are needed.
A speed of 58 mph (94 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
The towing limit is exceeded by 30 kg (check this in your vehicle documents).
The car is too heavily loaded.
Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 73%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 82%.
There is a small chance of snaking at higher speeds, strong side winds and thoughtless driving. Even if the combination normally feels stable, the forces by deflection side to side are great at high speed. For drivers with knowledge of, and experience in driving a caravan it is safe to drive, but proper and careful loading is still important! An electronic stability system in the car and / or on the caravan is worth considering.
Recommended noseweight is 75 kg.
Safe speed up to 62 mph (100 km/h).
Stability and safety score to compare is 174 points.
If the caravan starts to snake you should reduce your speed and slow down directly! Lift your feet off the accelerator and brake gradually. Hold the steering wheel into a fixed position.
Conclusion
Performance is more than sufficient.
If the caravan is well loaded safe driving is possible.
It's a perfect match!
Influence of User Payload on stability
Weight distribution and noseweight are vital in obtaining a stable caravan.
