The used car market in Oviedo

Oviedo is the capital of the Principality of Asturias and the administrative and services hub of the region. With an economy focused on the public sector, education and services, the city has a pragmatic, value-for-money-oriented second-hand buyer profile.

The used car market in Oviedo is complemented by that of Gijón, the most populated city in the region, located 30 kilometres away. Many buyers and sellers operate in both cities simultaneously, which expands the effective radius of the local market.

Before listing, the first step is to know precisely how much your car is worth in the current market.

The vehicle fleet in Oviedo is varied, with a significant presence of mid-range models and professional-use cars linked to public administration. Hatchbacks and family estates have a good turnover, and the demand for cars with environmental badges has grown since the LEZ came into force in January 2026.

Oviedo's LEZ: current status and what it means for your sale

Oviedo's LEZ (Low Emission Zone) came into force on 1 January 2026. It has a two-ring structure with different levels of regulation, making it more complex than most Spanish LEZs.

The inner ring covers the historic centre of the city, bounded by the streets Adelantado de la Florida, Postigo Bajo, Postigo Alto, Padre Suárez, Marqués de Gastañaga, Campomanes, Santa Susana, Conde de Toreno, Uría, Doctor Casal, Melquiades Álvarez, Covadonga, Manuel García Conde and Víctor Chavarri. The streets on the perimeter are not included in the LEZ; all inner streets are.

In the inner ring, since 31 December 2025, access, circulation and parking for vehicles without an environmental badge have been prohibited. The fine for unauthorised access is 200 euros, with a 30% increase in case of reoffending. Cars with B, C, ECO and zero-emission badges have free access.

The outer ring is bounded by the inner South and North Ring Road (Ronda Sur and Ronda Norte). In this area, the main objective is smart mobility management to reduce traffic and pollution, but environmental badge restrictions in the outer ring will come into force starting 31 December 2027, when vehicles without a badge will also be banned. In January 2031, restrictions will be extended to vehicles with a B badge throughout the entire LEZ.

There are exemptions for residents registered in the LEZ, owners of garage spaces or public parking spots, people with reduced mobility, and professionals whose vehicles are necessary for their business activity. For professionals without a badge, there is the possibility to request a temporary authorisation until 1 January 2031, provided they owned the vehicle before 31 December 2025.

What this means for those selling in Oviedo: the inner ring already has active restrictions for cars without a badge since the beginning of 2026. For buyers who live or work in the historic centre, a car without a badge cannot be used normally. The impact is real but more limited than in cities like Madrid or Bilbao, as the inner ring is relatively small and the outer ring does not have badge restrictions yet. For cars with a B badge, the situation is good for now, but the buyer must be informed of the timeline: in 2027, the outer ring will also restrict those without a badge, and in 2031, the entire LEZ will restrict those with a B badge.

ITP (Property Transfer Tax) in Asturias: how much does the buyer pay

The ITP in the Principality of Asturias for second-hand vehicles has a general rate of 4% for passenger cars with under 15 fiscal horsepower (CVF), and 8% for passenger cars and SUVs exceeding that power. This tax is always paid by the buyer, not the seller.

The process is managed through the Tax Agency of the Principality of Asturias (Tributas), based in Oviedo, and the form to submit is Form 620. The deadline is 30 business days from the signing of the sales contract.

To give you an idea of the real cost: if the fiscal value of your car is 10,000 euros and it has less than 15 fiscal HP, the buyer will pay 400 euros in ITP. If it exceeds 15 fiscal HP, they will pay 800 euros. This difference may arise as an objection in negotiations for higher-powered cars.

Options for selling your car in Oviedo

Classified portals. Wallapop, Coches.net, Milanuncios and AutoScout24 allow you to reach private buyers in Oviedo and the surrounding Asturian area. For cars with badges, demand is active. For cars without badges, the pool of buyers from the historical centre is limited, but buyers from neighbourhoods outside the inner ring face no restrictions.

Local dealerships and trade-ins. Oviedo has an active selection of direct buying points. The advantage is immediacy; the disadvantage is that the price discounts the resale margin.

National direct-buying platforms. Companies like Compramostucoche, Flexicar or Clicars have a presence in the area. Before accepting any offer, it is wise to understand well what lies behind the process.

Dealcar. Your car enters competition among more than 1,000 verified professional dealerships across Spain. Free for the seller, home collection and payment received before handing over the car.

Selling on portals from Oviedo: what to expect

Listing from Oviedo works well for cars with any badge, except those without a badge when targeting buyers in the historical centre. For cars without a badge, it is best to be transparent in the ad about the inner ring restrictions and target the listing at buyers from neighbourhoods outside that area or nearby municipalities without an LEZ.

To sign the contract between private parties, it's mandatory to do so in duplicate. If you need a template, Dealcar's sales contract model is available for free.

Dealerships and trade-ins in Oviedo

Oviedo has a well-established offering of used car dealerships, with national networks and well-established local businesses. Before accepting any offer, ask for valuations in more than one place: receiving multiple offers always improves the final price. Bring the car clean, with an up-to-date MOT (ITV) and with all documentation ready.


Specific procedures in Oviedo

The ITP is managed by the buyer at Tributas. The Tax Agency of the Principality of Asturias is based in Oviedo. The form to be settled is Form 620, within 30 business days of signing the contract. It is not your responsibility as a seller, but it is advisable to explain it to the buyer to avoid delays in the ownership transfer.

The change of ownership is processed at the DGT. The Provincial Traffic Headquarters of Asturias is located on General Elorza street in Oviedo. It can also be managed online or through an administrative agency (gestoría).

Notify the DGT of the sale. As a seller, you are obliged to report the transfer of the vehicle to prevent future fines from coming in your name. For a complete review of all the steps, the article on procedures for selling a car covers every step in detail.
