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 2011 Volkswagen EOS in the United States are 1,888 units [1]. If the total number of problems reported by Volkswagen EOS owners in the last 12 years is 21, and the age of the vehicle is 12, the PPMY index can then be calculated as
PPMY Index = 21 / 1,888 / 12 * 1000 = 0.93.
