should I buy scanner for this or ?

before I got my S500 ( still to be delivered in few days) , I took it to a European car mechanic and he advised below error codes were appear when he scanned the car... the dealer promised would take to MB service and will rectify them.. now they ahve advise they have done that ... so now I can take the car to the mechanic so he can scan and perhaps charge me $100 or so or I better buy a scan so I can scan myself? if I buy one then I might use it in future as well ? is this advisable ? is there any good scanner below $500 ? are they easy to use ?

is this a good one ?
