If you go to 
https://taginfo.geofabrik.de/europe/great-britain/keys/name#values and 
search the values for "driving test" you get 29 "Driving Test Centre" 
and a few "$place Driving Test Centre" and similar.

Looking at the 29 (and including a few international ones) 
https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/name=Driving%20Test%20Centre

11 have an office tag

https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1qu2

of those 11, 8 are office=government

https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1qu3

3 are office=yes

https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1qu4

Of the ones without an office tag, 4 are amenities:

https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1qu5

(actually "amenity = driving_school", which seems wrong to me)

The others don't seem to have main tags:

https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1qu6

In addition to trying to get details on the missing ones, I'd suggest 
adding an office tag to the currently "tagged only as a building" ones 
in OSM.

Best Regards,

Andy
