Answer

Why are former private cars sometimes used by local police in Mallorca villages?

In smaller Mallorca villages, a used private car can be a sensible option for local police if it is still reliable and fits everyday tasks. Such vehicles are often used for short patrols, visits to events, or trips into the countryside where a practical car is more useful than a formal symbol. It can also help a municipality avoid the cost of renting another vehicle.
