📉 Compare Reliability Across Model Years Using PPMY Index

It would not be fair to compare the Hyundai Azera 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 Azera 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 Hyundai Azera 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.

Azera Model Year	Problems	Sales [1]	Vehicle Age	PPMY Index
2017	20	2,881	9	0.77
2016	15	5,167	10	0.29
2015	17	4,349	11	0.36
2014	61	7,413	12	0.69

2009	36	5,494	17	0.39
2008	99	11,555	18	0.48
2007	175	24,052	19	0.38
2006	273	24,515	20	0.56

📊 Number of Problems Reported During the First Year
