No. Can’t clear it. Did you Hpi before buying?

Cat D’s don’t all appear on the log book.

No Category cars have the Category listed on the log book. It only shows up on HPi check. Once a car is Cat S, it is always a Cat S and cannot be removed. You can get the car inspected and if the repair is satisfactory it can be re classed as 'Condition inspected' but it will still also show it was Cat S.

cat s shows on log book 

in the old days you could have thatcham inspect a cat d and if you had used all manufacturer parts and basically used the same spot weld and the same thickness of paint on the panels it was possible to get it off the hit list for a large fee,this wont happen now due to super high strength metals used in non crumple zones regardless of cat n or s
