Short answer is yes, he has enough leeway for a fairly big van as well. The 85% thing is a guide not a rule, so if he tows confidently as is just now he should have no problem towing a van.

LR 90 is roughly 2000kg gives him 1500kg van.

Tell him to get the landyzone website all good answers on there. From Landy drivers.

Not good to be so blase about this. The GVW of the Defender 90 isn't "roughly 2000kg". They are usually 2400 to 2500kg, commercial ones sometimes over 3000kg. On a B licence that leaves little scope for a beginner to safely tow anything above 1000kg. there are vans around at less than that, particularly older vans. so worth checking the GVW and going from there. Keep the van light. Better to pass the B&E though.
