It is a certificate of no pledge against the vehicle, of no opposition about the vehicle registration document (e.g.if stolen), and if the car is officially registered as crashed and not roadworthy.
That's why French cars sold with all the documents, maintenance books, etc are the most sought-after.
Whenever I am in France I always get very excited at seeing a car that retains its original plate (yes I am that sad)
Have you tried to start your car yet? I wish you the very best of luck with it and I hope I can help in some way
This is one of the nicest places on the internet, glad to have you on board!
