3 year old wakes between 5.30 and 6.30 every day - Help!

I have a 3 year old who wakes between 5.30 and 6.30am every day. He has an older brother and sister and refuses to go to bed until they do (8.30/9pm). If he is in bed before them then he just keeps getting up. If we do manage to get him to sleep earlier then he just wakes up even earlier.
We try to stop him napping during the day but he usually falls asleep in the car.
Can't work out whether he is waking early because he is overtired or just doesn't need much sleep but ideally need to get him to sleep until 7am. Could just about bear 6.30am.
His room is dark and I don't think there is too much noise.
All advice very gratefully received.

If he falls asleep in the car do you wake him when you stop? Can you avoid going out in the car for a few days so you can see how is with no nap?
