On the UK Visa application it asked if you have had any criminal convictions? I had a DUI about 15 years ago would that apply?
Thanks

Have a look at this document, which is part of the instructions given to staff dealing with visa applications, and in particular read 26.5.

In terms of UK legislation, the conviction is most certain "spent".
