The last version available for your model is High Sierra. You will find it in the App Store: macOS High Sierra - Full Download.

As Kappy said, the true maximum macOS version for your Mac is High Sierra. Due to the APFS formatting nonsense I suggest to my customers to stick with Low Sierra to prevent drive issues. I've had issues with drives not being recognized after updating to Mojave or High Sierra due to reformatting drives to APFS, and therefore I don't associate with those versions of macOS.

There are ways to get Mojave onto your MBP though, however none of those ways are supported and/or encouraged by Apple. I can't name ways to get Mojave onto your Mac due to the the fact that Apple censors just about anything that they dislike to the slightest bit and I can get banned for doing so.

“Low Sierra”?


your 2 nd paragraph is - a real bad take.
