Not so much messy in an untidy way.
But mess as "to code" just look at the amount of bare copper on some cables. Hell, some breakers have 3 inputs going into them.

>3 inputs

3 *inputs* in one breaker is instant fireworks, and no residential building has 3 separate power feeds anyway.

3 *outputs* in one breaker is nothing out of the ordinary, it's less tidy but actually better than having one output splitting into 3 later down the line as far as resistance is concerned.

Farthest RCBO to the right.
3 Inputs.

His house was rewired 5 years ago.
Needless to say, the electrition was a little surprised when he tried to find out why there were still Red/Black colour coded wiring configurations in the kitchen. The image being the result.

That's one actual input and 2 wires to adjacent breakers. Again, that's nothing out of the ordinary. Aside from the wiring being too dense/messy and (most likely) lack of a diagram, that box doesn't look too bad.
