I have an old iMac (2009) which I want to upgrade. The screen works perfectly well so I was wondering if I could buy an Apple Mac mini desktop M2 and use the screen from my old computer?
Unfortunately, no, you cannot use the old iMac as a monitor for the newest Mac mini.
Target Display Mode was deprecated by Apple several years ago, and no Mac made after 2019 supports the feature.

good news is a new monitor would use a lot! less current than the old imac so you will be saving on the electric bill when getting a new monitor for the mac mini
The other good news is that a conventional external monitor does not require up to US$90 in Thunderbolt cables and adapters.
