Could the post code be derived from surrounding features?
I don't know how detailed the post codes there are .. but if features in OSM surrounding it were of the same post code (and correct) then they could be used to derive the post code?

It will almost certainly share a postcode with at least one neighbouring property, yes. A filling station is not going to receive enough post to justify a "large user" postcode. So if it's surrounded by properties that all have the same postcode, then that's definite enough. But if one neighbour has one postcode, and a different neighbour has a different one, then we can't be certain which is correct for this property... :-)
