Trip mileage higher than odometer on new car

I purchased a new car and took it out for a drive 1st time today. Whilst scrolling through the displays, I noticed the trip mileage is 15km higher than the official odometer mileage. i.e. "long term" trip says 60km, odometer says 45km.

Does VW have a habit of resetting the odometer at the factory, is this fishy, or just bad programming?

During pdi the mileage may have been reset on the odometer if there were a few extra km’s on it. I wouldn’t worry about it.
