A couple of years ago I got a bmw and porsche reregistered from UK to France and neither of them actually needed the CoC, although I did go to the trouble and expense beforehand of getting CoC’s from bmw France and porsche France, which later proved to be a waste of money and time.

That’s correct. When I re-reg my 2007 Peugeot 307 [RHD] in 2021 - or I should say that an ex-member of this forum, Mark Rimmer, did the paperwork - these entries on the V5 meant that a CoC was not required. These codes are type identifiers in the European vehicle datatbase.
Mark ‘retired’ from Survive France but can be found on FB. I don’t do FB, so I have never contacted him that way. I have his email address and, with his consent, will pass it on to you if you PM me.
Mark, as part of his business as a garagiste, specialises in GB > FR registration. In my case £40 extremely well spent.

I do have the codes in the D2 section of myV5 maybe i will be lucky. Still got to get my 846A certificate first.
I would expect that luck is not necc. Those codes are there for a reason - as identifiers to Euro types. They should suffice. I wouldn’t lash out any dosh until you have established that those V5 codes do not do the biz.
Mmmm. Maybe that’s why VW France have said a CoC is not required. It will bee nice to speak to Mark if possible.
Mark Rimmer was appreciative that I asked permission to send on his email address to the OP so I am going to post it here, for general consumption, for anyone who might need his services in registration matters.

And seconded on Mark’s services, he registered two for me a while back.
Some cars have the CoC in the owners manual, my xc90 did but the S60R didnt, I got one from Volvo Sweden free. Have you checked there.
Mark has confirmed my car does not need a CoC but, that will depend on the person on the desk at ANTS.
Captainendeavour the luck has to come back. LOL
