Assuming pollen filter not really damp, it may be purely just the amount of dampness it car.  Try ensuring the vent in boot is clear (this will help better airflow through car, and help reduce amount of humidity in car), but also keep opening roof/windows when possible to also assist until it stops doing it...

Note, the vent in the boot is in the off side rear quarter behind the cover by the rear lights (and hence the earlier comments!)

Does the estate have any vents at the back and if so, where are they?
