It's a 17 year old 180mph car, it's not really surprising bits have worn out.

The same bits on a Ford Focus are probably worn at 60k miles too, but no one who drives a Ford Focus gives too much of a fuck how worn their top mounts are, because it doesn't really make any difference to how the car is driven.
