Fair enough but what does it look like?
mould that has grown on the surface moisture/condensation caused by the chest/wardrobe/whatever against the [cold] wall stopping the movement of air.
Wipe it off and don't put the furniture hard up against the wall.

Cool, cheers for that. That was the plan (though a quick wipe hasn't removed the discolouration, and I'm reluctant to scrub hard!)
It's ectoplasm, no scrubbing will remove that.
Yeah that looks like condensation on a cold solid wall.
A) Turn your heating up.
B) Open windows (open trickle vents).
C) Don't dry washing in the house.
D) Make sure your bathroom and kitchen have working extractor fans and use them.
E) Close the bathroom and kitchen doors in/after use with extractor running on.
If that doesn't work
F) Insulate the wall.
You could put insulated plasterboard on (stick it on with no gap behind).
Or maybe first you could try thermal liner paper e.g. https://www.toolstation.com/wallrock-thermal-liner/p43007
I once had a condensation problem under bay window of an old terrace, I stuck some of that radiator foil bubble stuff on under the window and then lining paper on top. Worked well, but not a solution for a whole wall though.

The cracks are nowt. You should see the cracks in a new build after a few years. Just decoration.
