If you live in a humid climate, you may have mold growing in the system. Replacing the interior filter and having the dealer fumigate the system with a moldicide will resolve the issue.

Probably totally irrelevant, but my 2013 XF needed an evaporator or condenser (can't remember which) replaced because of faulty drainage or some such. The air coming from the vents began to smell like old gym socks. It was covered under warranty.

Luckily I haven't noticed that nasty smell in my F yet.
But all of our Mercedes & BMW's have had those musty smell.

Many of the second hand cars for sale in New Zealand come from Japan so spend a month or so on a boat, sitting on a dock etc so the air con unit tends to go mouldy.
My '10 XKR stank when I bought it in November so I tried this product and it worked really well:

It contains a number of different things but the initial smell was a minty one and once that had gone the air con no longer smelt.
