[Star Wars] By the time of the Battle of Hoth, why was the Millennium Falcon in a state of such disrepair?

It seemed to be working fine during the events of episode IV, yet by the time of the battle of Hoth, it was in such a state of disrepair, Han was barely able to get it to take off of Hoth.

The Millennium Falcon is, as Luke so poetically put it, a piece of junk. Keeping her from falling apart at the seams is a full time job. And it's hard to get replacement parts when both a galactic empire and a syndicate of interstellar gangsters are out for your blood.
