First time buying a pre-owned car in Dubai, what paperwork do I actually need at Tasjeel?

My lease is ending next month so I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy a second-hand Altima from a seller over in Al Barsha, but as an expat who has never gone through the transfer process here before, I'm super stressed about missing something crucial. The seller seems straightforward enough and claims the car passed RTA testing six months ago, but a guy from my office warned me that passing the basic registration test doesn't guarantee the suspension or cooling system are actually in good shape for the summer heat. I was reading through https://prepurchasecarinspection.ae/blog/used-car-buying-checklist-dubai/ late last night while trying to figure out what step-by-step precautions I should take before agreeing on a final price, and it definitely helped clear up a lot of my confusion about checking ownership history and verifying service records. I'm still a bit lost on how the insurance transfer works on the day of registration though, so if anyone who recently bought pre-owned could walk me through how long the whole process usually takes at the center, I'd really appreciate the peace of mind.
