    I reckon the most likely culprit will be the ventilation system, it might just be that the pollen filter is really manky, on the MK2 Focus they're awkward to change unless you have the "knack".  Seeing as they are cheap potential fixes I'd suggest replacing the pollen filter if it's not been done in the last year and get some A/C system anti-bac cleaner (you spray it into the vents).
