Looks like I need to replace the main oven thermostat for a Hotpoint UHS53X.

The thermostat for the oven has the part number 55.13054.080.

After a search (ebay) I am pretty surprised at the price these thermostats go for, many upwards of £50. I was naively expecting a part like this to cost a maximum of £10 or something

The cheapest I may have found is a compatible one for £20 (need to double check compatibility).

I just wanted to check if anyone knew of any sources with cheaper compatible options.

This is one of those things where the price feels so inflated for the part I get suspicious that under a slightly different reference/name the part would be considerably cheaper.

Appreciate any help!

Providing a generic stat is fully compatible (same temperature range, same shaft rotation angle, same or greater length of tubing to the sensor bulb, same mounting) as the OEM one it will be fine.
