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 SAAB 9-2x in the United States are 1,449 units [1]. If the total number of problems reported by SAAB 9-2x owners in the last 18 years is 12, and the age of the vehicle is 18, the PPMY index can then be calculated as
PPMY Index = 12 / 1,449 / 18 * 1000 = 0.46.
