In our research we use the PPMY index to compare the reliability of vehicles. The PPMY index of a certain model is defined as the problems reported per thousand vehicles per Year. The total sales of the 2015 Audi Q3 in the United States are 10,687 units [1]. If the total number of problems reported by Audi Q3 owners in the last 11 years is 26, and the age of the vehicle is 11, the PPMY index can then be calculated as
