The information is already OGL - go to the government website and search 
for centres near your postcode:

https://www.gov.uk/find-driving-test-centre

They even include links to OSM as well as Google Maps in the results, 
which is nice.

What doesn't seem to be readily available is a downloadable complete 
list, for example as a csv. That would probably be obtainable via an FOI 
request if anyone wanted it. But for individual mappers wanting to keep 
their local area up to date, the search page is useable data.

If anybody felt like making the effort (and I might even get round to it 
myself if I find a few spare tuits), it would probably be relatively 
simple to script a set of queries to generate the full list. You 
wouldn't need a query for every postcode in the UK, you could probably 
whittle it down to fewer than a hundred or so based on urban centres.
