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 2005 SAAB 9-2x in the United States are 7,840 units [1]. If the total number of problems reported by SAAB 9-2x owners in the last 20 years is 136, and the age of the vehicle is 20, the PPMY index can then be calculated as
PPMY Index = 136 / 7,840 / 20 * 1000 = 0.87.
