In many countries, it never really does. Only certain portions of it may become sealed from 'public' viewing (e.g.: when you turn 18 your juvenile record is sealed - if you are granted an expungement, that specific crime is sealed). Other than that your criminal record is permanent.

In the UK, it is current policy for criminal records to be stored on the Police National Computer (PNC) until you reach the age of 100, although some details may be stored for longer than that. However, whether you have to declare your criminal record (and whether it will show up on checks) will depend on:

  • The reason you are being asked about your criminal record
  • The type of criminal record check being performed
  • The age of offence
  • The disposal of the offence
  • The nature of the offence

What kind of "record" are you asking about. If it is your driving record - traffic offenses do not "go away" upon your turning 18. They are with you for life. It is only criminal offenses that are "shielded" after you turn 18.
