Just noticed this thread, so apologies for the late reply.
The Honda Jazz is a tricky one, and we can't give general advice with models like this. There were at least 11 different 1.4 manual Jazz's in production at that time. Some were rated to tow, and, crucially, some weren't, so you could end up illegal, just by fitting a tow bar.
Those 1.4s that were rated to tow were, rated at 450kg, for unbraked trailers and 1,000kg for braked trailers.
Most trailer tents are comfortably within the 450kg limit, but, as the legal requirement to have brakes fitted doesn't kick in until 750kg, you would need to make sure you kept to the smaller TTs. Otherwise, potentially, if you were to tow one weighing 500kg, without brakes, you could be illegal, straight away. Not a problem with a lot of TTs, but worth being aware of.
Of greater concern are those models that are not type approved to tow. These include the 1.4 i-VTEC EX 5d CVT and the 1.4 -VTEC EX Plus 5d CVT. It is illegal to tow even the smallest trailer with these, as they are not type approved for towing.
Before purchasing the Jazz (hoping you haven't already) then worth checking the specific model to see what it is, actually, rated to tow.

The one good thing about being wrong is the joy it brings to others..
