How old is the cabinet? Those soft close jobs do not last forever.

Coming up to about 2 years I think or so. Left side ones are rusting as well.
I think best would be to replace all 4?
Yes, replace all four rather than just one.

Certain type of hinge? Are these fine? Full overlay it says

Stainless steel wouldn't rust if you can find some. These look the same pattern as you have already in place.

Would you recommend me getting the ones you said then? Would this minimise rust compared to the ones I showed above?
Not sure those really are stainless steel. The description says
- Material: made of high quality stainless steel with nickel plated surface for durability.
And the cost is a lot cheaper than other SS hinges

Understand where you are coming from. Preferably need it to be from amazon due to having prime etc. A product link to amazon would be appreciated.Not sure those really are stainless steel. The description says
Why coat SS?

Also not looking to spend extortionate amounts on hinges as I am on a budget but at the same time I am willing to spend a bit as its quality I am looking for and not having to constantly replace yearly!
Sorry Dan, I found a few others on Amazon which claim to be SS. I am not convinced they are either.
Incidentally stainless steel can rust, the clue in the name 'stains less'. Originally this type of steel was to be called rustless but testing proved otherwise, hence the stainless name.
It usually depends on what grade the S/S is. 316 marine grade tends to remain rust free.

(Update)
Got the cabinet hinges that I linked on here from amazon. Was a total nightmare to put on and it wasn't the exact same, i didn't realise, there was only 2 slots for screws to screw onto the maim body.
My best bet would be to get the exact same make but finding it hard to get the DTC type ones.

That was the reason I suggested the ones that I did. Horse and water come to mind
