and the seal along the bottom of the rear screen, and the side trim clips for leakage, and the boot lid seal, and the opening roof drains in the boot sides (if you have one).

If it's a Saloon, likely to be the rear light seals. A common problem, but easily resolved.
We have them here: Rear Light Seals - Saloon

If a Tourer, it won't be this issue as they're sealed differently.
Most likely to be sunroof drains or trim leaks.

Does it have a sunroof?

If so, the drain tubes have a tendency to block & leak into the car via the very flimsy joint under the wheel arch (front) or inner side panels in the boot, as I found out the hard (and damp) way!
