That depends on what the conviction was for and what your previous criminal history is. If you have more than once conviction offence, all of your convictions will show up forever. If the conviction resulted in a custodial sentence (whether or not served) it will show up forever. If the conviction was for an offence on the 'DBS list of offences never to be filtered from a criminal record check' it will show up forever.
