This would be the first car to go down there for many years.
The late Vic Ashford once confessed to me that he had had to enlist the help of a friendly farmer to tow his pickup back up the lane when he encountered the big step behind the house, (now buried by a DCC repair).
Most of the cars I see abandoned in the lanes look to have been stolen but this one may just be an unlucky sat nav victim. I doubt the AA would be able to help.
There used to be a prominent Unsuitable for Motors sign at the last gateway before the bottom which was the last opportunity to turn around, I imagine it is still there buried in the hedge somewhere.

 Sign is still there, the home owner said vin check by police shows not taxed for, I think he said 5 years.

He also said tools and taxi sign in the back, majority of tools now been taken.

 I think you'll have to go there and drag the Mazda back up to No Mans Land because I don't think it's going down the steps.
