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 2004 Jaguar S-type in the United States are 7,500 units [1]. If the total number of problems reported by Jaguar S-type owners in the last 18 years is 39, and the age of the vehicle is 18, the PPMY index can then be calculated as
PPMY Index = 39 / 7,500 / 18 * 1000 = 0.29.
