I believe in this situation England has the same laws as the US in which police cannot question anyone under the age of 18 alone however, a 17 year old may give consent to be questioned without a guardian present, anyone younger cannot be questioned whatsoever without a guardian.

Is it possible for police to question an 8 yr old in a police car without parents?

If the child was alone and in 'strange' circumstances and the police found it necessary to talk to him, to find out information, yes they can. If he was taken into custody and questioned in a situation where it was clear that he wasn't going to be released then the parents should have been present.
