The standard for excess wear and use is set forth in your lease. Mercedes-Benz Financial Services’ unique Three-Point Inspection process helps you understand how many of the important components of excess wear and use are assessed to determine the condition of your vehicle. The Three-Point Inspection is:

1. The Credit Card Test: Generally, if exterior and interior damage cannot be seen when placing a credit card over it, then it “passes the test” and you will not be charged.*
2. Windshield, Lights, Wheels and Tires: A quick visual check of these areas can also help take the guesswork out of the damage assessment process.
3. Missing Items: Check for the original equipment and verify that scheduled maintenance is up to date.

* The Credit Card Test does not apply to windshields, lights, wheels, tires, exterior cracks, gouges, collective damage or holes in the sheet metal or frame, or other major damage outside of ordinary wear and use.

Your 90 day to maturity package contains complete guidelines for chargeable damage.

Most vehicle damage happens to the exterior or interior fabric and trim. Basically, if the damage can be hidden with a credit card, it passes the test and is not chargeable damage. Guidelines for tires, glass and a few others are equally innovative and fair. Three months before your lease ends, you’ll receive The First Class Finish – Your Lease-End Guide, which explains the entire process in detail.

Before you return your vehicle, take a few minutes to do your own Three-Point Inspection using the criteria in your lease-end guide (sent to you 90 days before your maturity date). You may also contact Mercedes-Benz Manhattan to schedule an optional Vehicle Condition Review to prepare for your lease-end inspection.
