Unfortunately, it is becoming increasingly common that when buying a vehicle we find that It has liens and encumbrances. For this reason, we repeatedly urge customers to order Traffic Load Reports, to verify before making the purchase, any possible charges that it may have.
But in recent months, we've been finding that the liens recorded on vehicles are also becoming Seal notes, which means that, even though the transfers in traffic can be finalized, The DGT (Spanish Directorate General of Traffic) will not issue the vehicle registration documents and we will be driving illegally.. Furthermore, if for any reason we are stopped to check our documentation, and the officers find that the vehicle has a seal on it, they will immobilize it and leave us without a vehicle and without documentation.
Therefore, and as a fundamental piece of advice when buying a vehicle in Seville (or any other part of the country), We need to make sure what charges the vehicle has and how those charges might affect us as buyers. It's important to keep in mind that not all liens are equally restrictive. For example, if a vehicle has outstanding road tax debts, simply withholding payment from the seller and settling those debts with the relevant local council will suffice. In that case, the problem is minimal. However, if we encounter liens and, especially, impoundments, we must be very careful and certain of what we are doing to avoid future problems.
