bad rear calipers
If the piston in the rear calipers is stuck and not braking properly, the handbrake won't be able to stop the rear wheels.
​
Inspect calipers, if piston is super rusty replace it or buy new calipers.
worn brake pads or discs
Worn brake pads don't offer much stopping power, the same goes with a won brake disc.
​
Inspect them and replace them, especially if you didn't in the past 4 years.
Loose handbrake cable
A loose cable may prevent the handbrake to have the proper tension to stop the rear brakes.
