Tips on Returning my lease

I am returning my lease and I need 4 new tires and its time for service.

Do I have to replace all 4 tires? ( I plan on buying used ones before the inspection)

I read somewhere only two needed to be replaced. But in my case, I am not getting another lease.

Can someone service the car that is not at the MB dealer? ( I plan on going to my mechanic to service the car)

Please advised. My inspection is this week

I have a crack back light.(barely noticeable) I called MB and they advised anything smaller than a credit card will be approved. Is that really true?
Also, the mirror on the visor recently broke. Will I have to repair that as well?

I want to repair what I can before the inspection.

Thank you.

You should be able to have your dealer do a pre-inspection. That is what mine told me to do when I leased mine recently. They will look everything over and tell you what you'll need to take care of and what is fine.

its a hit or miss, i fixed mine up and it didnt even get inspected. all that stress for nothing. 6 months before had two e-classes turned in together. one was not really checked and the other they claimed the front bumper had a "Dent" and it would be 2k to fix. it was just a simple curb rash that the other e-class also had. Its a fraud of a company. put cheap tires on it and as long as it matches there minimum inspection its ok.
