Similarly to the others who replied to you, Mullvad have had audits done to "prove it" (but even so, they can change infrastructure from the audit easily).

Their last audit was published in June 22, 2022: https://mullvad.net/en/blog/2022/6/22/vpn-server-audit-found...

ProtonVpn had their no logs policy audited.

Several VPNs have given no information to courts after being subpoenaed, including ExpressVPN and Private Internet Access.

I used PIA before, and I left after I learned that they were sold to a dodgy guy whose previous company installed malware. The situation with NordVPN seems confusing, but no major red flag such as that one. I would not recommend PIA anymore.
