Can't find the reason for drop of quality

Hello,

 

I bought a prusa mini about two years ago, it worked really well, and I stopped using it for maybe a year. I recently printed something and the quality is terrible...

I'm trying to understand what is the issue. I changed the nozzle, calibrated it, and printed some things I printed 2 years ago. see image bellow (Left is printed two years ago, Right is printed this week.

I am going to buy new filament to see if that could be the problem but appart from that what could be the issue?

If this is old filament that has not been kept in a dry environment then that may be the problem.

So I bought new filament and had the same result, but tried different settings, to see what could be wrong and lowering the temperature improved a lot the result.

However the underneath of the slot remains a problem on all the tests, it makes some sort of buldges... Any idea what could be the reason?
