The Honda Jazz 1.2 with a Predom N-126nt with an actual weight of 850 kg is in general a good match and suitable for journeys on most kinds of roads, sometimes with some limitations in the mountains.
The motor preformance of the Honda is in general just sufficient. And also the weight of the Predom with a User Payload (99 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is very good.

Honda Jazz 1.2 Predom N-126nt
Actual Weights
Predom N-126nt: 850 kg.
Honda Jazz 1.2: 1271 kg.
Noseweight: 60 kg.
Actual weight ratio: 67%.
Performance
The engine's performance is generally fairly good on flat roads (performance score to compare 152 points).
Speeds of 62 mph (100 km/h) to 69 mph (111 km/h) are often quite possible.
There is only very moderate power at low engine speeds (score to compare 83 points).
Slightly higher revs (3300 rpm) may be necessary under normal conditions on flat roads.
Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 29.3 sec.
In the mountains the performance is generally sufficient (score to compare 126 points).
No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads but the performance is not that great. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 10%, but do require some experience from the driver.
On motorway inclines the speed drops despite high revs.
A speed of 51 mph (83 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
The towing limit of the Honda is sufficient (check this in your vehicle documents).
If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997, a B driving license is enough.
Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 67%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 79%.
The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
Recommended noseweight is 60 kg.
Stability and safety score to compare is 212 points.
If the caravan starts to snake you should reduce your speed and slow down directly! Lift your feet off the accelerator and brake gradually. Hold the steering wheel into a fixed position.
Conclusion
Performance is just sufficient.
Safe driving is possible.
It's a good match, sometimes with some limitations in the mountains.
Influence of User Payload on stability
Weight distribution and noseweight are vital in obtaining a stable caravan.
