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 2014 Mini Cooper in the United States are 1,455 units [1]. If the total number of problems reported by Mini Cooper owners in the last 12 years is 47, and the age of the vehicle is 12, the PPMY index can then be calculated as
PPMY Index = 47 / 1,455 / 12 * 1000 = 2.69.
