I think this is what I've done in the past with some success :-
1. Checked all footwells / boot well for damp (i.e leaks)
2. If they were all OK, I leave the car on in dry weather with all windows a half inch down and the HVAC set to the highest temp setting and AC on (set to external air). I got the the car as hot as possible to dry out the seats and carpets etc. and let the moisture escape through the windows and AC.
3. I thoroughy cleaned the inside of all the glass with a good glass cleaner. I used two clean dry glass cloths to start with and kept one as dry as possible for final buff over.
4. From then on I kept AC on all the time over Winter (set to external air)
Modern cars are so well insulated that moisture can't get out so easily so you need to occasionally do a routine similar to the above. I doubt it's an MG issue (unless its a leak) as I've read countless similar threads on other car forums at this time of the year.
Some people have added two more steps as follows :-
5. Buy some car dehumidifier bags that sit on your dash under the windscreen.
6. Applied an Anti-fogging coating to the inside of the windcreen once fully cleaned.
