Hi All Just found in my loft a 30amp round junction box on lighting circuit with 7x1.5mm T&E cables going into it.

It doesn't look very tidy with the earths twisted together on outside of box.

Would it be ok to change this to a Wago XL box and Wago connectors.

Thank you for your help.

No reason why not.
 
Done properly would be a big improvement. (Not suggesting you wouldn't do it properly.)
 
If youre redoing the joints.... take a photo before dismantling... sleeve or mark any switchwiresso you dont mix up what SHOULDNT be connected to neutral....

Is this an old red/black colours?
