Does this frame look ok?

I am looking to buy a one owner 2000 Ford Explorer 5.0 with 112,000 miles and it was just inspected 700 miles ago. Synthetic oil changes since new every 5,000 miles and was wondering if someone could tell me if these pictures look alright. Apparently there isn't rocker or where well rust and he said the frame should be good too especially considering it was just inspected. I'm getting it for $2,000 because the mans wife just died and he only needs one vehicle, this was hers. What do you think?

I don't see any signs of the rust actually rotting holes in the frame. It appears to be mostly surface rust. Most state inspections check for working brakes, lights, horn, etc. I've never seen an Inspector give more than a cursory glance at a vehicles frame.
