Why does my car run with condensation all the time?

My Vauxhall Corsa has a really bad problem with condensation. Both the front and rear suffer and it’ll freeze inside and out. Any ideas what’s causing it?

This cannot happen unless there is moisture inside the car so it must be getting in there somehow, either via the pollen filter because the bulkhead vent well are blocked or through the doors because the waterproof membranes have perforated.
