I'd just mention that breakers themselves rarely fail. Testing one is about as easy as it gets - just check for continuity between the two poles with it reset. No point running out and buying one when you can test it in 2 minutes. There's no 'maybe'; it'll either pass or fail.
As for your no power problem, I'd be looking for a suspect ground. After sitting all winter a little corrosion could have easily developed.
