Do you think my dog is a pitbull?

Without a pedigree there is no way to say for sure. Looks to have some terrier in him/her but the only way to know for sure is to have a pedigree bloodline determines how your dog is bred and both parent's would have to be registered with a reputable registry to obtain a pedigree on your dog.
Ofcourse you can idenitfy the breed of a dog by the looks, maybe not all dogs but the majority of breeds you can.
I have no idea over pitbulls/terrier family as pitbulls and staffies do get mixed up in their looks.
He is 3 years old, I bought him thinking he was an Irish staffordshire bull terrier he didn't have any papers. I just have growing concerns about what breed he actually is, is there any possible way of finding out for sure?
No you cannot identify a breed of dogs by looks .. You know how many breed of dog's resemble an American Pit bull Terrier ? There are several terrier type dogs/mixed breeds that resemble an APBT that are not. The only way to determine a dog's purity is off it's pedigree that's it. An educated guess is just that and educated guess.
Here you go let's see if you can find the APBT

Super cute pup , looks like a pitty to me 
See the problem is if he was a pitbull he would be taken from me and put down, if I got a DNA test done and it turned out positive do you think the vet/person doing it would automatically call and tell the dogs breed?DNA test or papers and 3 years old? I thought he was a puppy still
I honestly am so worried about losing him, when he was a puppy a specialist came out and examined him over a period of 6 months and let us keep him, do you think he could have known when he was a puppy that he wasn't a pitbull?
They became illegal here in the UK before I got him when a pitbull killed a child, that is why they sent out a guy to keep checking up on him, he came out to see his temperment and measured him but after 6 months of random call outs he said we were find to keep him, however recently they are looking to bring in a strong ban on "dangerous dogs" which would include staffies.
Everyone here assumes they are evil dogs, but my dog is everything but evil, he would probably lick you to death if that was possible.
He is actually my life, I have trained him so hard from playing dead to getting socks out of my drawer.
But it doesn't matter how good the dog is if its a pitbull it's taken from you and put down.
