A test apparatus is provided for testing a sensorless check device of an actuator. The sensorless check device is arranged to be used by mechanically moving a check device pin 23 from a resting position to an actuation position and then releasing the check device pin 23 to allow it to return to a resting position urged by an elastic return mechanism. The test apparatus comprises: a piston 101 for contact with an actuator surface 50 associated with the check device pin 23; a piston spring 105 for urging the piston 101 toward the actuator surface 50, wherein the piston spring 105 is softer than the elastic return mechanism of the check device; and an adjustment and testing mechanism 106, 107. The adjustment and testing mechanism 106, 107 is arranged to: compress the piston spring 105 and apply a load via the piston 101 to the actuator surface 50 to move the actuator surface 50 so that the position of the piston 101 at the start of the movement of the actuator surface 50 can be recorded in order to establish a reference position, depress the check device pin 23 via the piston 101 and actuator surface 50 to simulate use of the check device, allow the check device pin 23 to return toward the reference position being urged by its elastic return mechanism, and indicate when the check device pin 23 reaches a final position after being released by indicating when the actuator surface 50 is no longer applying a force to the piston 101, such that the final position of the check device pin 23 can be compared to the reference position.
