Compare Reliability Across Model Years Using PPMY Index

It would not be fair to compare the Nissan Rogue of an older model year to newer model years since older vehicles have been in service longer and thus are expected to have more problems. In order to compare the reliability across Rogue model years, we use the PPMY index which is defined as the problems reported per thousand vehicles per Year. A smaller PPMY index indicates greater reliability of the given model year cars.

PPMY = P / S / Y * 1000,

where P = total problems reported during the life of a Nissan Rogue model year; S = total units sold of the model year; Y = years since the debut of the model year (the age of the vehicle).

The results are shown in Table 3.

Table 3. Use PPMY Index to Compare Reliability Across Rogue Model Years

Rogue Model Year	Problems	Sales [1]	Vehicle Age	PPMY Index
2018	156	134,880	1	1.16
2017	180	360,113	2	0.25
2016	151	343,921	3	0.15
2015	225	232,145	4	0.24
2014	297	101,268	5	0.59
2013	394	195,272	6	0.34
2012	253	142,027	7	0.25
2011	339	138,518	8	0.31
2010	342	88,880	9	0.43
2009	330	74,071	10	0.45
2008	486	80,312	11	0.55

Number of Problems Reported During the First Year
