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 Toyota Echo in the United States are 10,262 units [1]. If the total number of problems reported by Toyota Echo owners in the last 17 years is 13, and the age of the vehicle is 17, the PPMY index can then be calculated as
PPMY Index = 13 / 10,262 / 17 * 1000 = 0.07.
