I’m sure the car would be physically capable of doing so but you need to know your weights. Going overweight would not be legal. You need to establish the maximum towing weight for the 940, I believe it is around 1800 kg but may vary between specific models.

Although cars were much lighter a few years ago I expect a 240 would weigh at least 1300 kg, the lightest car trailers are around 500kg and as clan said the heavier duty ones are 750kg plus.

When towing heavy stuff you should always know your weights, if you get stopped by the police (unlikely) or the DVSA (more likely) they are far more likely to leave you alone if you can give them confidence you know what you are doing.
