There used to be life on mars, because mars used to have water on its surface (this can be seen by the multiple water channels).
However, for whatever reason, the water is gone now and so is any life on mars. The microbes were ancient, and I'm sure upon further analysis were found to be semi-fossilized.
Mars would be easy enough to inhabit if it had an atmosphere. As long as you have an atmosphere you can just add on most else to a planet. Maybe for whatever reason mars' atmosphere was burned away and this caused it to lose fertility. I doubt any complex life developed on the planet.
