You can tow providing that the TT has a maximum weight ( plated on the TT ) which is less than the unladen mass of the car ( more difficult to find but usually there is a figure on your V5 registration document ), also the sum of the max weight of the TT plus the max wieght of the car ( plated on the car ) must be less than 3500kg. In addition you must make sure the actual train weight plus the actual weight of the TT is less than the max train weight plated on the car.
That is what the law says but you might also consider that for a stable and relaxing tow you should arrange that the actual weight of the TT has a maximum of somewhere about 85% slightly more is acceptable ( even up to 100% with experience ) but less is usually better.

For a licence dated 1997 or later you must add together the plated max weight of the caravan and trailer, if the total is 3500 or less you can tow it. You may even tow a caravan with a MAM greater than the cars unladen mass the restriction was removed in 2013
