Narrative:
The previous crew said the aircraft had 1 minor MEL. The release reflected the MEL, which was written up the previous day. Aircraft logbook looked complete with the normal signoff. En route, I noticed that the MEL was not completed and that a maintenance action had not been done. We called maintenance on arrival at destination and the full/correct maintenance procedure was completed.
