🚗 Key Import Regulations for Used Cars from Germany:

  • Vehicle Age Limit: No official age limit exists, but older vehicles (especially over 10 years) may incur higher registration tax due to higher COâ‚‚ emissions and reduced depreciation.
  • COâ‚‚-Based Registration Tax: This tax is based on the vehicle’s emissions level, ranging from 0% to 14.75% of the car’s current market value.
  • ITV (Inspección Técnica de Vehículos): A mandatory technical inspection is required before the vehicle can be registered in Spain. A Certificate of Conformity (CoC) or a technical data sheet may be needed.
  • Spanish Registration Plates: These must be obtained before the vehicle can legally drive in Spain. Plates are issued after successful registration with the DGT.
  • Homologation: The vehicle must comply with EU road safety and emissions standards. Most German cars already meet these, especially if accompanied by a CoC.
