It's been 3,201 days, and still counting. The rover has driven 22.03 miles, mostly at a snail's pace, from one crater to another, stopping for months at a time in the frigid Martian winters. The six motorized wheels, rated to turn 2.5 million times, have lasted 70 million in total, according to NASA, and are all still working.

It was never supposed to be such long .....but it proved to be a great success.

John Callas, manager of NASA's Mars Exploration Rover project says,"Opportunity is still in very good health, especially considering what it's gone through.The surface of Mars is a pretty tough place; there can be temperature fluctuations of a hundred degrees each day. That's pretty hard on the hardware."
