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 2007 Volvo XC70 in the United States are 13,360 units [1]. If the total number of problems reported by Volvo XC70 owners in the last 15 years is 35, and the age of the vehicle is 15, the PPMY index can then be calculated as
