📉 Compare Reliability Across Model Years Using PPMY Index

It would not be fair to compare the Toyota Venza of an older model year to newer model years since older vehicles have been in service longer and thus are expected to have more problems. In order to compare the reliability across Venza model years, we use the PPMY index which is defined as the problems reported per thousand vehicles per Year. A smaller PPMY index indicates greater reliability of the given model year cars.

PPMY = P / S / Y * 1000,

where P = total problems reported during the life of a Toyota Venza model year; S = total units sold of the model year; Y = years since the debut of the model year (the age of the vehicle).

The results are shown in Table 3.

Table 3. Use PPMY Index to Compare Reliability Across Venza Model Years

Venza Model Year	Problems	Sales [1]	Vehicle Age	PPMY Index
2015	36	60,371	11	0.05
2014	36	27,278	12	0.11
2013	82	51,290	13	0.12
2012	34	23,100	14	0.11
2011	88	42,352	15	0.14
2010	107	49,445	16	0.14
2009	220	59,680	17	0.22

📊 Number of Problems Reported During the First Year

Another way to measure the reliability across the model years of the Toyota Venza is to use the total number of problems reported during the vehicle's first year in service, as shown in the Table 4.
