The Astra TD only has 67bhp and a max tow of 950kg so that would not be a suitable match despite the caravan being lighter than the cars kerbweight.
Check your logbook what does that say?
The higher powered CDTI engines can tow 1100kg MAX, So even with that you right on the legal limit.
My sister nearly bought one. They are so underpowered its silly.
One car where the 85% rule does not apply as it would be illegal to tow anything that heavy.
