I live in Barcelona and would say it depends… a lot of bikes are absolute workhorses and look a bit sketchy.
On the other hand, there’s a lot of young biker crews who have the latest sports/super/naked bikes that are just exceptionally well looked after and always look brand new.
I’d say if it looks in good condition here, that normally means it is. Very few people wash their cars/bikes because of the hosepipe ban. Those that do are usually the ones that really care.
Edit: check motos.net or Mundi Moto for a huge range of bikes - the latter being a single company network of dealers.

This is a strong likelihood. Even with ferries and VRT it would work out cheaper than buying in Ireland...
How are Spaniards for maintenance (I know Germans and Polish are known to be fastidious according to biking friends I know who've bought from both)?
