Is my write-off valuation lower than expected?

Just before Christmas I was involved in a no fault accident when a white van pulled out from a driveway and hit my 7 year old Aygo (3 door).The insurance company have said it's a write off and offered £3200. I rejected this as we have owned from new, full Toyota service history, only 39,000 miles, immaculately kept and no expense spared. A second offer of £3350 has been made but I still think it's worth more than this. What would be your opinion?
