We have previously owned and towed a trailer with a 53 plate Honda Jazz 1.4 Sport which is similar in size and statistics to your Civic 04 plate, likewise the maximum laden weight for an unbraked trailer was 500kg, and a max nose weight of 50kg.
The trailer was a Daxara 145 with built up sides and a lockable lid, fully laden it was about 425kg and about upto limit on its noseweight, as its often difficult to balance out the smaller trailers by simply just putting heavier stuff over or just behind the axel, as they are so short anyway, so the heavy tent canvas and poles, gas bottle and table always got packed towards the front to give greater stability.
Whatever trailer you buy, I would strongly advise you to buy one with a jockey wheel fitted, it sure does make life a lot easier when manually handling the trailer whilst loaded.
