It may have perished over time or had a hard life from the previous owner flooring it in every gear, I hope no one would be that daft to actually notice the mount in that condition and leave it in.

Oh and buy a new mount.

Replace it mate but its not uncommon for that to happen, just got to keep an eye on it.

99% of them split at the top, its only piss thin there, as long as the bottom bits are ok its fine.

The new mounts i put on my corsa have split at the top after about 3k.
