Buy a Ranger and a Ford Fiesta Sport van. Keep the Ranger for rolling in to Carmarthen and towing and the odd time you fear getting stuck in the snow and enjoy nearly 3 times mpg and a nippier ride for the other 85% of your miles
If you turn up in the Fiesta van , your customers may feel your margins are lower than they were
Win win

Range Rover, will tow 3.5t, won't get stuck with the right tyres (none of the vehicles you're looking at will) and will only cost 100k.
The NFU are doing 10% off before the new year.

If that cost you £160 in diesel to take your Daughter to Uni in Sussex, it needs a good service .......

It's only 8k miles a year.
If your doing 40k then you'd best ringing them for a quote I think.

Annual mileage 8000 miles! Thought you said you were doing 40k a year? You'll get clobbered on excess mileage.
Edit. Beaten to it

Love how they have an 'order now' button on the website. Just imagine coming home after a few pints, buying a 125k car might seem like a good idea

I spent more than that in repairs last year

Business lease will not be cheap per month but you can offset it against tax. You don't own it at the end however.
Personally think it has to be Land Rover or maybe the new Volvo XC90 which is dead sexy, avoid the largest wheel rim option. Air suspension worth considering, too.
Or forget it all and get an Audi S6 or Alpina B5 or something.
Tesla cars can be had for half the money with less than 20K on. Fills up for that cost £7.
Audi Q7 is fugly, X5 is a hideous machine, neither of them fit for rural use.

They will utterly obliterate you if you exceed the annual mileage caps. They don't want you putting a lot of miles on 'their' vehicle.

I expect it will probably be cheaper for @Forage Trader to buy the car if he's doing huge mileage. The monthly hire on that sort of mileage will be far too high.

8p/mile is what I'm paying excess. Hardly the end of the world IMO. Booked it at 15k/yr but am doing 20k as didn't want to pay for.something I might not use. I went through my local mitsibushi garage which was a bit more expensive than the online guys but when the paperwork came through it was the same as the online guys. My 2yr deal runs out in June. Might extend it if nothing looks competitive at the time.

Better to buy a 12 month old with low miles maybe and run it for just a year or two under warranty then get rid?
