Does this look excessive? Any movement looks to be from the drivers side mount, I can feel a little vibration in the pedals as well but the car runs & drives great.

    There are ways of balancing a 3 cylinder engine - in this case an unbalanced flywheel for manuals, or a balance shaft for automatics. 

    This is really just down to poor quality engine mounts and idle speed set too low to scrape through the emissions tests.

    There may be some improvement from replacing the mount, but the new one will go the same eventually.

    If the mileage is above 50,000 get the spark plugs changed if they haven't been done already
