    I guess the OP is specifically talking about a period when they are living of capital/savings rather than having a regular pension income they can point to and how that might impact any credit applications.
    Exactly this 👍
    This happened for me. Had many lease hires whilst in employment, then when out of work (retired I guess) and not taking any pension income as not 55 yet, and then I leased another car, stated it on any questions they asked, and had no impact at all.
