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 2019 Volvo XC90 in the United States are 35,015 units [1]. If the total number of problems reported by Volvo XC90 owners in the last 7 years is 58, and the age of the vehicle is 7, the PPMY index can then be calculated as
