📈 PPMY Index and Problem Occurrence Trend

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.

If the total number of problems reported by Mitsubishi Raider owners in the last 19 years is 74, and the age of the vehicle is 19, the PPMY index can then be calculated as

      PPMY Index = 74 / 9,886 / 19 * 1000 = 0.39.
