Well, if you turn it all the way on, it should have the same temp as if you did it the way you described, so yeah, the regulator might be broken. A valve should last you several years before it starts leaking or breaks, so if you've had yours that long, it might be time for a new one.
The good news is that replacements are pretty cheap, and for this style of faucet they're pretty easy to install, usually requiring only a screw driver and probably a pipe wrench to loosen the retaining ring. And if you have a name brand like Delta or Moen, it's covered under a lifetime warranty as well.
