Having had a network of a 2960 router and three AP900s working happily for about 5 years, I went to upgrade the software and found that the AP900 had no software loads listed on the update page and the AP900 is listed as discontinued on distributors' websites. What's the reason for this, and do I need to consider replacing them with AP903s ??

The most recent firmware appears to be V1.2.5 (Oct 2018). See: https://www.draytek.co.uk/support/downloads/legacy-products/legacy-vigorap/vigor-ap900

and do I need to consider replacing them with AP903s ??

Draytek seem to be much better than many manufacturers at releasing Security fixes for their old products, but it's probably not reasonable to expect any new functionality...

Unless there's some 'must have' feature that's present in the AP903 (WPA3?, Mesh support?, 802.11ac support), I see no reason to stop using them yet.
