Concerning the warranty, nMP in EU is nowhere near expiration (yup, it's this tiny, insignificant part of the planet again, that is not US). EU has a regulation that every computer has a minimum of 2 years of warranty, so even if someone bought the nMP during the first days of launch, it is on warranty at least until december 2015, without applecare counting.
Now, concerning that most of the EU machines arrived well in 2014 due to apple being unable to catch up with the demand, it means that most warranties will start expiring sometime in 2016. Again, without applecare (which, of course, starts automatically after the initial warranty expires). So...yeah.
