I know this isn't any help but in the Peugeot 406 handbook it states 0 kg's for unbraked towing weight
& 1500 for braked
Sorry I can't be of more help DDD.

What's the problem ?

It says 0Kg.
Which I would interpret as " Don't use trailers without their own brakes "

Of course, zillions of people use the little 3' x 3' trailers for taking the garden stuff to the local tip.
They often/usually have no brakes.

It's a matter of common sense really. A significant size trailer of anything much more than that is really quite
dangerous without brakes. So easiest just to say 0Kg.

IIRC, brakes are mandatory for trailers weighing 750kg or more laden in any case.

Given that Peugeot state 400/700Kg unbraked/braked for a 106 then 0/1500Kg for a 406 just isn't good enough for a car that is popular for towing. And there's nothing wrong with unbraked trailers if used correctly, we have 4!
Doggy is correct unbraked is a Class 1 trailer and cannot exceed 750KgGVW but, can I legally tow it?
In the absence of any proper information I could go by the VOSA guidelines of 50% kerbweight = 650Kg or 705Kg

depending on:
Kerb weight...RHY code...1,300kg
Kerb weight...RHZ code....1,410kg

[Doggy]

Kerb weight...4HX.....1520kg.

My V5 says:
Variant:- 8ERHY
Version:- 8ERHYF

Mass in service:- 1455Kg

I googled 'Mass in service' vs 'kurb weight' and wished I hadn't asked.

1380 according to Parkers, but doesn't specify what weight/method that is.
Found the handbook that gives 1380 kerb weight for a RHY estate.
