Check if the cooling fins on the radiator and the a/c condenser to see if they are blocked. My a/c condenser was that blocked my a/c wouldn't work.
Have you have the radiator tested? Could be blocked.

Did you correctly bleed the system?

What boost do you have?
do you have a chip fitted?
X 2 gently hose the bottom of the radiator
until the water flows clear, avoid a Gernie
too much pressure

Invert a coke bottle with the butt cut out to raise
your fill point, park with the nose uphill as well.

Have you taken the radiator out and got it checked for blocked cores ..... this will cause the same symptoms

Think it needs the air out of it or your coolent is not strong enough

If it is a 14 year old vehicle with original radiator and viscous fan then I would be rodding the radiator and checking the fan viscous hub.

Both are notorius for causing overheating.

Do you have BIG driving lights? If so remove and see how it goes. This assumes you have checked the other obvious things.
