UK toilet extractor fan

What is it that makes it junk? UK seems to be possible to dodge the safety standards with "designed to" or just not mention any standards, or hype the one environmental standard it achieves. "manufactured to comply" does not mean it actually was tested/evaluated and does comply.
It's probably a chinese fan motor and just locally assembled to claim "made in the UK". I see many importers of chinese junk reselling it locally sans safety approvals. What a way to make money- peddling unsafe crap.

The 3A fuse is not enough to prevent a fan or circuit board fire, I'm not sure what it's good for really. Protecting the wiring?

Yes, that's my take on it, It's probably thin stranded flex (I've never had any luck getting solid T&E in there!), which may not be fully captured. Widespread, non-industrial, availability of ferrules seems to be a recent thing.
