Ok- then you tell us how to know when the line in the logfile was written. If the file was written out over a period of time the file mtime is LAST time it was written to - the time for the last line in the file - not the time a given line was written.
Without timestamps or some other file with timestamps you cannot get anything but a file mtime - or a ctime which in this case is pretty much useless.

clockdiff
CLOCKDIFF(8) System Manager's Manual: iputils CLOCKDIFF(8)
NAME
clockdiff - measure clock difference between hosts
SYNOPSIS
clockdiff [ -o] [ -o1] destination
DESCRIPTION
clockdiff Measures clock difference between us and destination with 1 msec resolution using ICMP TIMESTAMP [2] packets or, optionally, IP
TIMESTAMP option [3] option added to ICMP ECHO. [1]
OPTIONS
-o Use IP TIMESTAMP with ICMP ECHO instead of ICMP TIMESTAMP messages. It is useful with some destinations, which do not support ICMP
TIMESTAMP (f.e. Solaris <2.4).
-o1 Slightly different form of -o, namely it uses three-term IP TIMESTAMP with prespecified hop addresses instead of four term one.
What flavor works better depends on target host. Particularly, -o is better for Linux.
WARNINGS
o Some nodes (Cisco) use non-standard timestamps, which is allowed by RFC, but makes timestamps mostly useless.
o Some nodes generate messed timestamps (Solaris>2.4), when run xntpd. Seems, its IP stack uses a corrupted clock source, which is synchro-
nized to time-of-day clock periodically and jumps randomly making timestamps mostly useless. Good news is that you can use NTP in this
case, which is even better.
o clockdiff shows difference in time modulo 24 days.
