Could be a lot of things but maybe engine/gearbox mounts worn, suspension joints worn or even worn shock absorbers.

Re: car vibrates when going over bumps
It could be shocks, wheels bouncing up and down on undamped springs. Should be easy enough to check, push down on a corner, the car should come up perhaps a little over its rest position and settle.

ive checked the engine mounts and they seem fine,checked the suspension and that also appears tobe ok,its as if something is rubbing or knocking gently,the vibrations decrease and increase with speed
