They're worn from age, not mileage. When the car is sitting, the engine rests on the mounts. Cars really do age with time, and often it's harder on them than mileage. The new mounts are pretty much like the old ones (my 98 C230 got new mounts this year too) and will probably last another 8-9 years...
