In short, no. It will always have that history and it cannot be reclassified. It should not have been a total loss either, it should have been repaired as repair cost were less than the market value. How can you buy back salvage for a vehicle you already own? Their liability lies up to the market value. You could, however, still raise a complaint, as you have six years to do it. Your complaint would be that your insurer breached the contract of insurance by not indemnifying you for your loss. They should have either repaired your car, or provided cash settlement at the cost of repair. If the Financial Ombudsman Service agree, then the insurer would have to remove the categorisation. The insurer should have really placed a CAT B on the vehicle if they had wanted to total loss.
