Maintenance/Repairs

This video was recorded and given to me from the car shop: Hyundai Accent 2009 engine mount issue - YouTube. I just put it on Youtube for my own reference. The shop recommended replacing the engine and transmission mounts.

Wanted to get input from the community here. How bad is the situation for the car? This is a must fix or just better to fix to avoid other problems coming up due to this?

And how could something like this happen? Did the original mounts just go bad or got damaged? The only thing that I can think of that could relate to this would be that the car got stolen and recovered with some damage a few years back (in 2017 I think) with a small dent on the engine hood, the car still worked fine, and other shops I took it to for maintenance didn’t report any engine issues. The insurance claim adjuster didn’t note any issues with engine either. For the damages back then, they were with the tires and wheels.
