It is not the MIRO of the caravan that needs to be considered but the MTPLM - also known as Max Authorised Mass or Weight.
Have a look here which gives an indication of towing limits and kerbweights for 1.8 Mondeos, obviously you need to check out the exact figures for your car, but it seems that any caravan up to about 1100 Kgs MTPLM would be within it's capabilities.
Providing that you are not wanting to buy a brand new one there are plenty of caravans about that are 4 - 5 berth and within this weight. Look specifically at pre 2000 ones, as they tended to be lighter than current models.
I used to have a 1997 5 berth Avondale that was 1100 Kgs.

If you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, just keep going till you go round the bend.
