Contrary to that popular idea that Vegeta was only able to reach Super Saiyan 2 through the assistance of Babadi, he had reached the form prior to the Babadi arc, according to Toriyama, despite how often these things are contradicted in the inconsistent anime.
I don't think Vegeta was capable of reaching SS3, since it was apparent you needed to be 1) Goku, 2) dead, or 3) a fused Saiyan. It's common sense really, Vegeta lacked any of the conditions in which would yield such a transformation.
I personally believe that if any character understood the transformations well, it was Goku, who'd perfected each form of Super Saiyan, with 3 aside until much later. While I believe Vegeta was capable of SS2 on his own, I think the only transformation he truly mastered was Super Saiyan 1, at the end of things.
