Whether car, motorbike, boat or bicycle – in Mallorca you need the right vehicle for every occasion. Browse vehicle classifieds from private sellers and dealers across the island.

The vehicle market in Mallorca has its own quirks. Spanish second-hand cars typically come with air conditioning as standard, but rarely with winter packages. When buying a used car, always check the ITV status (the Spanish equivalent of the MOT) and request a current Informe de Tráfico to ensure there are no outstanding charges on the vehicle. The transfer of ownership (Cambio de Titularidad) is handled at the DGT in Palma or online via the Sede Electrónica.

Boats and yachts are also hugely popular – the island has numerous ports and marinas. For cyclists, Mallorca offers world-class roads and is an international cycling destination.

Check the Informe de Tráfico for outstanding liens and fines. Look for a valid ITV and salt corrosion on the underbody (due to the sea air). Have the purchase contract (Contrato de compraventa) drawn up in writing.
