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 SAAB 9-7x in the United States are 2,499 units [1]. If the total number of problems reported by SAAB 9-7x owners in the last 13 years is 17, and the age of the vehicle is 13, the PPMY index can then be calculated as
PPMY Index = 17 / 2,499 / 13 * 1000 = 0.52.
