失敗 focuses on the outcome. Something didn't succeed or the goal wasn't achieved, often because the method was wrong or circumstances were bad.
E.g. 太郎が入試に失敗した。→ "Taro failed the entrance exam"

間違い focuses on being incorrect. Something doesn't match what is correct/true. It can be a specific, tangible error.
E.g. この本は間違いだらけだ。→ "This book is full of mistakes"

Note: You can find or point out a 間違い because it is a specific error, while 失敗 refers to a failed attempt or outcome rather than a discrete mistake you can scan for.
