This built-in oven is about 5 yrs old.
When the main oven is switched on, fan works ok, all lights work, the thermostat clicks with corresponding light on/off, but no heat.
Before I take the whole unit out, is there a cut-out in this model or is it definitely the element?
Thanks!

It sounds likely to be the element, best off to bite the bullet and invest a little time testing it.
Usually not much dismantling needed to get to an element, just make sure the power is isolated / switched off first!
With power off and the element exposed it should have three terminals, with multimeter take a resistance reading across the outer two terminals, should be around 20 ohms I think if it’s in good order, then also check for continuity between either of the outer terminals and the middle (earth) terminal, if you get continuity here the element is grounded / shorted out and needs replacing.
TBH in my limited experience of a few cooker elements you can often tell just by looking at them, I have found when they blow they can do so fairly violently and are visibly warped out of shape rather than nice and round!
