Generally drug expiration dates can be viewed the same as 'Sell By' dates; they are a reference for when the product may no longer be 100%. In the case of drugs, that implies less effective. Actual shelf life will depend on storage conditions and the ingredients. Medications that are liquid or contain active ingedients will be more prone to degradation. Aspirin will usually remain effective a long while after the expiration date likely only with increasing ineffectiveness.

Yes Aspirin have expiry date. As time passes the aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) can undergo decomposition. This decomposition results in the breakdown of the acid. The product reverts back to the salicylic acid which contains the harmful phenol group.

After the expiration date, it should no longer be used. Drug molecules degrade over time, and chances are the concentration of drug in there is depleted.
