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 2016 Volkswagen EOS in the United States are 1,136 units [1]. If the total number of problems reported by Volkswagen EOS owners in the last 8 years is 6, and the age of the vehicle is 8, the PPMY index can then be calculated as
PPMY Index = 6 / 1,136 / 8 * 1000 = 0.66.
