If it’s a winglet aircraft, VNAV always gets the deceleration wrong. I think that when the FMS software was updated for winglets, the drag reduction was underestimated, hence the aircraft always retains more energy than the FMS predicts. More so for the 767 than the 757. Given the age of the aircraft, an updated software package is unlikely.
