How many miles? Talking in terms of years is meaningless if you put a 100 miles a year on the car (not saying you do/don't). I know many cars on this site are not daily drivers.

Rubber that has seen a lot of heat time (headers next to the mount) and heat cycles will be in much different shape than a part that has been sitting nice and cool in a garage. I've bought plenty of NOS rubber parts that were perfect, even after sitting on a shelf for 40 years.
