Sounds like you know what you're doing but one thing I would double check is the warranty exists. Some manufacturers don't transfer it to the second owner (not sure this is still the case), others are conditional on main dealer servicing, some are dealer rather than manufacturer warranties, others specifically exclude certain things - so don't rely on them without checking them out...

Thanks, that is something I definitely need to make sure of. The plan is to be buying from fleet so I think most of them should be up to date with service schedule and hopefully no massive problem that caused them to be auctioned!

(57lbs in 7 months! - bloody hell that is impressive)

No 37lbs, 57lbs would have been too quick to be safe and would have been miserable to do. 4-7lbs a month if your "normal" is surprisingly easy when you have the method right - getting it right is tricky and needs some will power to start off with.

That is not the case, all manf waranties are for the full period not just the 1st owner, otherwise preregistered cars would be unsellable;)
