Clearly the double glazed units haven't been properly sealed when they
were installed in the door. They should have been bedded into putty
/some equivalent when they were fitted.

Don't be such an idiot harry. Sealed Double glazed units must *never* be
bedded with putty in timber frames. That will cause them to fail very
quickly, *and* the frame to rot as many buyers of new houses discovered
within a few years of moving in, before the GGF and NHBC got a grip on
the problem.

"Never" is a bit strong. In this house are still two Magnet Joinery frames
which were glazed with DG units in 1975 - by the previos owner's builder.

Glazed with linseed putty, in 1975 ??. I find this difficult to believe.
Post a photo for us to see.
