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 2009 Nissan GT-R in the United States are 2,518 units [1]. If the total number of problems reported by Nissan GT-R owners in the last 14 years is 22, and the age of the vehicle is 14, the PPMY index can then be calculated as
PPMY Index = 22 / 2,518 / 14 * 1000 = 0.62.
