Mould on Garage Ceiling

My son bought a new house four years ago with an integral garage. He has been keeping his car in it for the last year and has noticed that there is quite a bit of mould growing on the ceiling and brown patches. Its not water leak as there is no dripping water and there is a bedroom over the garage. Any ideas on how to fix and stop this. He has bought paint and spray to kill the mould but needs to prevent it from coming back ? Is this a common problem ?

    Condensation due to thermal bridging?

    I suspect the problem is condensation. A wet, or damp car gets put in the garage and will cause problems. This was never a problem with detached garages - they always had a good air flow. Integral garages are a different matter!
