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 2006 Nissan 350Z in the United States are 30,616 units [1]. If the total number of problems reported by Nissan 350Z owners in the last 18 years is 65, and the age of the vehicle is 18, the PPMY index can then be calculated as
PPMY Index = 65 / 30,616 / 18 * 1000 = 0.12.
