Export database on old server.
Import database on new server.
Copy your MantisBT files (*.php, ...) from your old web server to the new one.
Adjust config_inc.php (database user, database password, ...)
If your attachments are stored in filesystem (not database): Copy your directories with attachments from your old web server to the new one
The easiest way would be to use the same directory structure.
Check that the system is running fine on the new server.
After that I recommend an upgrade to the latest stable MantisBT version (1.2.17 at the moment)
