Looked at mine whilst doing thermostat. The rubber is quite crazed and almost cracking. No bad signs of vibration in car though (only annoying little vibration at 1800rpm ish).
And the same as EastPete - dashboard buzz (seems to be come from sunlight sensor area) and both central locking buttons vibrating - but also seem to be dependent upon coarseness of road - have a ZT so 18 inch wheels and budget tyres,
Do you have a picture of the condition of your Hydramount wuzerk? Thanks. Would be good for comparison purposes.

Here the pic of my diesel Hydramount which was allowing serious vibrations
to reach the steering wheel and seats
Note the splits in the rubber which I now believe are because it has hardened over time losing its ability to absorb the engine vibration without passing it through the car.
