Remarkably, all the cars purchased by the MPs were unique—no two models were the same. Just like snowflakes. And the most popular brand was Mercedes-Benz—six of them were purchased.
OBOZ.UA analyzed the declarations of elected officials and found out who spent the most on their fleet of vehicles and whether their legal income would have been sufficient. It also revealed which of the powerful car enthusiasts figured in investigations into large-scale corruption in the energy sector, and which purchased their cars through a bizarre scheme.
Luxury cars, 21 million hryvnias in the bank, and a Lanos in the garage
The most expensive car purchased by a member of parliament in 2025 was a 2025 Audi Q8 for 5,015 million hryvnias. It was purchased by Serhiy Magera, a former independent member of the banned Opposition Bloc. He bought the car in April, but similar cars are now available for less in showrooms—for as little as 3,335 million hryvnias and as much as 4,546 million hryvnias. Therefore, from today's perspective, the MP overpaid, and considerably.
Serhiy Magera bought the most expensive car among MPs.
Magera bought this car from Porsche Inter Auto Ukraine, which had previously become known for selling a minibus to the Kyiv Oblast Road Service at a non-competitive auction—because, according to The media, "open bidding was cancelled twice due to a lack of participants."
In 2018, the MP declared a salary of UAH 95 per month (or UAH 1,1 million per year) at the Mariupol Ilyich Iron and Steel Works (he held the position of Director of Regional Development). A year earlier, the future MP's average monthly salary was UAH 87,9. By 2019, when Magera resigned and joined the Verkhovna Rada, his annual salary was UAH 32,7 million (he likely received compensation payments).
The MP loves cars, however. In his 2024 annual declaration, he included the following:
- 2019 VOLKSWAGEN TOUAREG for 1,6 million UAH, which was obviously subsequently sold out for 1,8 million UAH;
- a 2023 BMW X3 registered to his wife for 2,69 million UAH;
- ZAZ-DAEWOO LANOS 2006, which the same wife temporarily uses by “verbal agreement”.
Overall, in 2024, Magera declared, among other things, UAH 3,1 million in income from FUIB (in the form of interest), UAH 697 in salary, and almost UAH 238 in pension (a substantial almost UAH 20 per month). He also has almost UAH 21 million in his account at FUIB. Therefore, he has ample opportunity to further expand his fleet.
The most elite cars of MPs
Other MPs purchased less expensive cars, but only compared to Magera's 5 million-hryvnia Audi. Specifically, four MPs declared purchases of cars worth more than 2,5 million hryvnias.
Musa Magomedov — a BMW for 2,8 million hryvnias
This MP was nominated by the Opposition Bloc, but currently does not belong to any faction.

Magomedov's wife owns a 2020 Porsche Panamera. The car was purchased for 3,4 million hryvnias.
In addition to their fleet of vehicles, the Magomedovs own a boat worth 230 hryvnias, 12 properties, and a watch collection.

According to his income declaration, he earned the money for the car by selling movable property for 2,28 million hryvnias. However, he sold it in a rather odd way:
- According to the declaration, on November 28, Pavlyuk received 2,28 million from the company Karpatyavtotsentr.
- On the same day, he bought a car for 2,7 million hryvnias from the same Karpatyavtotsentr.
So, in fact, the "servant of the people" paid approximately 420 hryvnias for the car. He also gave away unspecified movable property.
Overall, the MP earned quite a bit of money in 2024, including a salary of 824 hryvnias, as well as 4,67 million hryvnias from the sale of real estate. He also keeps $330 and 200 hryvnias in cash.
