Answer

Are foreign-registered cars common on Mallorca roads?

Yes, foreign-registered cars are common on Mallorca, especially on a holiday island with many visitors, seasonal residents, and people bringing vehicles from elsewhere. That can make roadside checks slower, because authorities may need to verify documents through different registries. It also means drivers and owners should keep paperwork in order at all times.
