I thought this rover was lost due to some mechanical failure.

Its twin Curiosity was lost in 2010 due to running out of power (Causing the heaters to shut down and the components to stop functioning). Opportunity had (And still has) a problem with its arm, but they found ways around that.

And it's half cousin Curiosity recently just landed.

Spirit stopped communicating in 2010
