Answer

Is it legal to drive in Mallorca with missing tyres or major vehicle damage?

No, driving a vehicle in that condition can be treated as dangerous and may lead to penalties. A car that is visibly unsafe can endanger the driver, passengers, and everyone else on the road, so authorities may investigate both the mechanical fault and the decision to keep driving. In Mallorca, police can also seize the vehicle if it poses a serious risk.
