I've done something similar to this:
http://www.mappage.org/error/

Enter a set of co-ordinates and it will produce a GPX file containing
waypoints of all the issues it finds.

At the time of writing, it flags up:
Motorways, trunk, primary and secondary roads without a "ref" tag
Various things without names
Shops etc without opening hours
Anything with "source" set to "extrapolation", "NPE" or "historical"
Anything with a "FIXME" tag
Any node with "naptan:verified=no"
Any way with "highway=road"
