For large parts of Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, the Millennium Falcon is in pretty poor condition. Han and Chewie are desperately trying to fix it on Hoth while the Empire is attacking the Rebel base, and throughout the rest of the film it struggles to go into Hyper Drive.
But what caused it to be this way? The ship seemed to be in fine condition at the end of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.
Answer
In new canon. The first issue has the main characters attacking an imperial base and C-3PO is in the Falcon and then some scavengers attack it, they start taking it a part.

My understanding is when Chewie starts to fix the Falcon he screws up the Hyperdrive as there's no reference to it being damaged before that. Chances are though that he only started making those repairs because of what happened during the events of the comic.
