S-MAX LX upgraded to Titanium - why?

I viewed a Ford S-MAX 08 plate car today listed as LX and with Full Titanium top of the range spec. I checked the VIN number on the ford website to confirm the cars actual spec and it came up at an LX. So I'm just puzzled as to why this car has all the Titanium specification extras. The dealer hasn't been able to confirm why it's been changed but did list it as an LX. My question is should this be something I should worry? Any advice would be appreciated. Also low mileage 69,000 and I saw sight of all VOS MoT miles over the last 5 years.

Probably due to company car hierarchy. Some salesman's paygrade only got him an LX, but he did a deal with the dealer and has the Titanium extras fitted.
