ITV chaos in Mallorca: When re-registration immobilizes cars
Where the Re-Registration Backlog Hits Mallorca Hardest
Son Verí, rural Mallorca and busy Palma gestorías are among the places feeling the re-registration delays most.
Published: April 23, 2026
Answer
Which areas in Mallorca are especially affected by the re-registration backlog?
The problem is being felt across the island, but it is especially inconvenient in places where people depend on a car for everyday life, such as Son Verí and rural areas. In those places, a vehicle standing unused can affect work, medical appointments, and shopping far more than in central Palma. Gestorías around Palma, including the Passeig Mallorca area, are also under pressure because they are dealing with many pending cases.
