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 2002 Mitsubishi Mirage in the United States are 10,213 units [1]. If the total number of problems reported by Mitsubishi Mirage owners in the last 20 years is 5, and the age of the vehicle is 20, the PPMY index can then be calculated as
PPMY Index = 5 / 10,213 / 20 * 1000 = 0.02.
