Trip meter different reading from odometer

Is it normal to have trip meter have different miles than odometer? If so, why are they not same reading?

Had the trip odometer ever been reset? By your, the dealer, or anyone else driving your Mini?

What do you mean by "different"?
The odometer reads the miles that the car has driven since birth.
The trip reads the miles since someone reset it using the button.
