All the above is correct, and not trying to mitigate for shonky install, but when we had a new circuit/cable put in for our oven, our electrician explained that the total loading figure in watts would only ever be touched if you simultaneously turned on every single element, hob (in our case) ring, and grill element onto full whack from cold, which isn’t actually possible on the oven controls, so while it was still important to install to that spec for compliance, the actual figure was a misnomer.
Doesn’t really make a difference to the above - and the plug definitely looks sketchy - but sounds like your sparky is responsive and communicative which I think is a tick in the positive column vs him being a total cowboy!
What’s the oven model? Some online retailers aren’t always as good at showing the actual specs when you compare to the manufacturer model/documentation as they carry so many similar SKUs and sometimes things getting erroneously translated across from similar models under the assumption that they’re the same.
