I’m about to pull the trigger on a 2015 bike through a private sale. I’ve negotiated what I think is a decent deal, but I’d prefer the safety of some form of mechanical warranty. I’ve looked at a couple of companies, but none have so far offered to cover the bike. Has anyone taken out a warranty privately recently? Any recommendations?

TIA.
 
Don't know if it helps but I think which? did a survey on this a year or two back and concluded that generally speaking most folks were better off putting the cash for warranties aside for repairs etc in the relatively unlikely event of a big bill. Doesn't help if the arse falls out your new awesome. Small print often means a lot of issues aren't covered anyway - make sure you read the Ts and Cs IN DETAIL before taking the plunge - any pay for it by credit card in case they try to stiff you later.
