Is this the same rover that was supposed to have died long ago?

There’s 2 of them, and they were only expected to last 90 days.

This January will be 4 years.

They feared losing both rovers if the recent dust storms prevented them from getting solar rays to keep ‘em running, they shut them down and parked them except for running essential stuff, the batteries have held up well considering...

one of them does have a bum inside wheel but they are still able to get around..
