Give the OP has had the car 12 days, I'd reject it outright.Get advice from Trading Standards.
Reject now - not in a week or two when a fix becomes the only option. Too many issues beginning to show and dealer is fobbing OP off with any old rubbish. 63k miles on an 11 year old car is very low, and has it been verified?
It's worth adding that non-franchised dealers offer warranties from this and that provider, but history has these has shown that many of these are pretty worthless with the warranty company weedling out of the claim. Non-car folk may think £1000 parts and labour cover is OK, but on a modern car doesnt go very far when there is a serious engine or gearbox faults, and furthermore wont cover existing faults at sale time. Call me cynical, but how can the OP be assured the dealer will deal with the ESP fault correctly and not take the bulb out, for example?
While appreciating the OP is not car savvy, spending £350 on tyres and alignment immediately after purchase is pointing to 'money pit', sadly. And were the tyre suspect too?
I feel desperately sorry for people in situations like this who know nothing about cars, dont have a friend who does and are feed a line of smooth patter by the salesman, keen to offload something he knows is potentially suspect. And it's usually bought by people with limited incomes or tight budgets too. Criminal.
