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	120	134,880	1	0.89
2017	160	360,113	2	0.22
2016	141	343,921	3	0.14
2015	214	232,145	4	0.23
2014	280	101,268	5	0.55
2013	379	195,272	6	0.32
2012	238	142,027	7	0.24
2011	334	138,518	8	0.30
2010	334	88,880	9	0.42
2009	322	74,071	10	0.43
2008	481	80,312	11	0.54

Number of Problems Reported During the First Year

Another way to measure the reliability across the model years of the Nissan Rogue is to use the total number of problems reported during the vehicle's first year in service, as shown in the Table 4.
