When you last used it did you have the air con on?  Condensation can build in cars air con systems. If the car isn't used regularly that condensation will get trapped in the car. Possible

Check below the door panels as the door card seals can leak water. It then goes across the sill trim under the carpet so not always leaving a damp patch on top of the carpet. Seen this on mk6s and many mk4s.

Also the drivers door seal at the top above the armrest.

Seal at the bottom of the door insert that houses the window regulator and speaker went on mine and caused all windows to steam up and carpets went p*ss wet through, seal around speaker went too. Took speakers out and sealed them back in with silicone along with the insert. Removed A little of the rubber seal on the door too and took a clip out from underneath that holds the seal on so the water can drain from the front of the door
