I could be wrong, but I don't think it has to be recorded if the damage is relatively minor/cosmetic, as long as the correct procedure is followed with the insurance company. My similar experience was several years ago (and a different car) so procedures and policies may have changed but I was allowed to buy the car back without any insurance category mark against it. IIRC, the car will only receive a Cat D mark against it if
your insurance company is allowed to take over the whole process. The trick is (I think) to inform your insurance company but remain in control, claiming from the other driver's insurance directly.
