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 2000 Toyota MR2 in the United States are 5,597 units [1]. If the total number of problems reported by Toyota MR2 owners in the last 26 years is 5, and the age of the vehicle is 26, the PPMY index can then be calculated as
PPMY Index = 5 / 5,597 / 26 * 1000 = 0.03.
