4 Years from date of offence for speeding, but insurance companies will prolly want convictions from the preceding 5 years. Other offences are from date of conviction, and driving under the influence of alcohol/drugs are 11 years from conviction. The DVLA (http://www.dvla.gov.uk/drivers/endorsem.htm) site has info about it.
