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 2001 Volvo C70 in the United States are 5,625 units [1]. If the total number of problems reported by Volvo C70 owners in the last 21 years is 27, and the age of the vehicle is 21, the PPMY index can then be calculated as
PPMY Index = 27 / 5,625 / 21 * 1000 = 0.23.
