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 2008 Volvo S60 in the United States are 13,666 units [1]. If the total number of problems reported by Volvo S60 owners in the last 14 years is 14, and the age of the vehicle is 14, the PPMY index can then be calculated as
PPMY Index = 14 / 13,666 / 14 * 1000 = 0.07.
