You'll need to purchase a new or much “newer”, used or refurbished iPad model.
iPad Mini 2 is from 2013. This iPad is 9-1/2 years old and is much too old.
Such old iPad models cannot upgrade/update beyond any version of iOS 12.
Sorry.
You need to consider that it is 2023, now.
iPadOS 16.3 is here.
These over 9-year old, iOS 12 iPad models are coming to the full end of their support life.
These iPad models will be 4 OS iterations behind, now.
You really need to seriously consider a purchase of a new iPad model OR a much, MUCH “newer” and less expensive, refurbished or used iPad models, from better known, trusted sources, like other Apple product/device retailers/resellers, some locally or from online, on the Web/Internet, capable of running the latest iPadOS versions.
There are PLENTY of newer, older iPad models that can run the latest, current versions of iPadOS.
If you need OR ONLY able to afford to purchase older, less expensive iPad models, look at older IPads from 2015 and later.
All of these older model iPads below CAN, currently, run the latest releases of iPadOS 16.

Get the largest internal data storage model you can afford as NO Apple iOS device has ANY expandable storage.
I am sorry that you had to learn all of this, but this does not change any of the facts regarding these old iOS devices.
Sorry & Best of Luck to You!
