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 2019 Lexus RX in the United States are 87,036 units [1]. If the total number of problems reported by Lexus RX owners in the last 7 years is 58, and the age of the vehicle is 7, the PPMY index can then be calculated as
PPMY Index = 58 / 87,036 / 7 * 1000 = 0.10.
