MA is one of the few states that has kept ALL of its criminal records (back to the early 1900s). Since convictions often keep people from being employed, the MA Legislature made substantial revisions to the statutes pertaining to the sealing of criminal records in 2010, amending s. 100A of ch. 276 of the General Laws of Massachusetts. That change put new verbiage in place until May 4, 2012 and another change took effect after that date. The changes are too lengthy to include here, but both are currently in s. 100A of ch. 276.
The new law, effective May 4, 2012, states in essence that anyone with a misdemeanor conviction is eligible to have his record sealed 5 years after release from court supervision, with exceptions. Anyone with a felony conviction is eligible to have his record sealed 10 years after release from court supervision. One must apply to have a record sealed.
This does not specifically answer your question, but it may be helpful to know what the new laws are on the sealing of records.
See the link below to the MA statute at the point where s. 100A appears (on the bottom of that page).

How far back can car insurance look on your driving record?
Your question most likely depends on the state. In MA they can look back 6 years. Your best bet is to go with a car insurance company that will not do a record check before giving you a quote. 4autoinsurancequote does not check records, and I'm sure other sites do as well. A Google search will probably return a few results.
